PANAMA

Panama is an often overlooked part of Central America. But lots of Americans are visiting and some are even moving there. Is it worth considering?

The tropical country of Panama is located in narrowest part of Central America, between Costa Rica and Columbia. It is most famous for the Panama Canal, but there is way more to it than just that. Come explore Panama with us and see what we discovered…

Bill and I spent about a month exploring four distinct areas – Bocas del Toro for the snorkeling, Nueva Gorgona for the beaches, mountainous Boquete for the birding, and finally Casco Viejo, the quaint Old Town of Panama City.

Panama has a unique position and history in the world due to it’s location between North and South America. It’s a combination of old historic sites and an incredibly modern center of international banking and commerce. And the wildlife and scenery are INCREDIBLE!

Keep checking back as I am actively working on many posts about our time exploring Panama, with tons of helpful information to help you plan your Bucket List trip.
