The long, curved stretch of land that makes up Panama has for years
been a valuable mean of communication between Costa Rica to the north
and Colombia - and the rest of South America - to the south. And at the
southern end of the famed Panama Canal, connecting the Pacific with the
Atlantic in just 67km, is Panama City, a modern and a surprisingly
diverse Latin capital. Or perhaps not when you think about it: it's
almost a natural consequence of the old colonial days, of new ideas
infiltrating down from the US, and of the country's unrivalled
geographic position. And mixed in this old world charm and upbeat new
world you have a Caribbean flair and Latin energy that many cities can
only dream of. So as long as you don't mind roads and skyscrapers
springing up alongside palm trees along the Bahía de Panamá, you'll find Panama City to be an exciting, tropical, and altogether unpredictable, package.
