From Ziplines to Cerro Ancon, Panama Ranks High
September 27th 2011

Panama, home to the famed canal, lush landscapes and toucans has been catching the eye of many. When we say Panama, however, it`s hard to come up with a singular image. And judging from this article, we aren`t the only ones.

First off, there`s the highlands in the area where Boquete is located. The lush land and cooler climate allow for delectable coffee to be grown. It is home to incredible birds and thus, bird watching chances to catch sight of the rare quetzal. Activities abound in this area, and besides horseback riding and biking, you can fly through the air and catch a bird`s eye view while zip lining. But then again, there`s Panama City. Contrasting the natural flora of Boquete is a concrete jungle home to artisan markets and of course, the Panama Canal. Viewing the canal is a must, as you can see the Miraflores Locks and boats transporting goods. Ironically, the city itself may be seen from yet another side of Panama. The islands are home to a number of indigenous cultures. Amazingly, this contrast is pronounced in the way that, if you look the right way through the palm trees on certain islands, you can even see the starkly prominent skyscrapers in the background. Nothing could be more different than the down to earth vibe and lifestyle of, say, the Kuna Yala people of the beautiful San Blas region. (See here)

From the mountains, to the cities, and the sparkling blue waters, Panama has a lot to be experienced. Our Explore Panama Family Vacation, which could also be for couples or friends, allows you to see the many beautiful facets of Panama to give you a complete picture.
