Panama not only links Central America to South America, but connects the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean by way of the Panama Canal. The Canal is an incredibly popular tourist destination, though it’s definitely not the only thing to see when visiting this diverse and beautiful country.
You can find skyscrapers, museums, and nightlife in the capital of Panama City. Stroll through gardens while sipping world famous coffee in the mountains of Boquete. Island-hop and party it up on the beaches of Bocas del Toro. Trek through the dense jungles in the East. Panama truly has a scene for everyone. Here are 10 photos to inspire you to visit Panama!

Great photos, Joy! Thank you for sharing this with me :)
Aw thank you! :)
Great Photos! The Panama Canal is AMAZING! Did you understand that they don’t pump ANY water there to raise and lower the ships in the locks? An Engineering Marvel of the time!
Oh wow! We never got to read a lot of the signs or information with crowds of tourists surrounding everything but that’s a pretty neat fact! Thanks for sharing!
