Panama is where never-ending sun, sea and nature create a unique escape. Perhaps the most famous sight is the Panama Canal, a man-made wonder, but that's just the start. Panama is a place alive with a heartbeat all its own. There, the melting pot of Spanish settlers and West Indians contribute to a population as varied as the land itself. \Enjoy adventure tourism and all that the culture has to offer, from pre-colonial to modern. Continue on one of the pristine beaches, where snorkeling or surfing can either bring you a rush or complete calmness. When you dig a little deeper, a whole new world is unveiled. Panama's marine parks are a wonderland of aquatic life. Hike to the top of an extinct volcano for a panoramic view from ocean to ocean. Take a quick hop to the San Blas Islands, where aboriginal tribes maintain their ancient cultures and traditions. There is plenty more than meets the eye in Panama.
