About Panama
Whether you chose to enjoy city life in cosmopolitan Panama City, or escape to your own virgin island with crisp white sand and picture perfect palms, Panama is a country that has it all when it comes to fun in the sun.
Connecting the Americas, this small stretch of land with two sprawling coasts holds some of the most diverse landscapes. From Caribbean white sand coasts, to lush rainforests home to a rich eco-system of birds and animals, to the wild Pacific coastline
with resident whale sharks, there is so much to explore in Panama it is no wonder tourists end up moving here for good to become international expats.
With ancient indigenous tribes and their traditions thriving across the country, Panama’s culture is a colorful display rich in a unique history. As a haven for expats, English is widely spoken as well as many other languages. The diversity of the population
is best experienced in the cuisine. Not only will you find the Caribbean cuisine influences, restaurants range from fine French dining to freshly rolled sushi.
Just as the landscapes and cuisine, hotels in Panama are diverse and plentiful. Five star skyscrapers can be found in the Panama skyline with eco hotels and tree houses available for those who want to escape to the jungles. Planes, buses or private taxis
can take you from one coast to the next or anywhere within the cities and are easy to arrange. The hardest part is deciding where you want to go to next.
