Panama Travel Guide - Travel to Panama
Travel to Panama - Why visit Panama? Panama is one of the fastest growing tourism destinations in Latin America. Travelers to Panama often focus on ecotourism adventures because of the country’s abundance of natural wonders: mountains, protected rain forests, fascinating wildlife, beaches and deep-sea fishing opportunities. The Panama Canal is perhaps the best known site, proving itself an interesting attraction for both land-based and cruise-ship tourists. Panama history is present in its many Spanish-colonial structures and Amerindian cultures. In numerous ways, less-crowded Panama is more appealing as a travel destination than its neighbor Costa Rica. Travelers will find better prices in Panama and will feel that they’re finding a well-kept surprise.
When to visit Panama? Panama’s high season is during the dry season from around mid-December to mid-April, when it rains the least. With the aid of air-conditioning and sea breezes, Panama can be enjoyed year round, though you should expect it to rain an inch a day during the May-November rainy season.
