Why would you want to go to Panama?
Panama is the country that divides Northern and the Southern American Continents. It is famous for it's Canal build in 1914 known as the Panama Canal. This 77km man made Canal has immensely helped the carriage of goods between the east and the west. It is also the country that seperates two Oceans. To the east you have the Atlantic and to the west you have the Pacific.
Panamas population is est. 3million and the country maily depends on the service sector which contributes more than 70% to their economy. Some people are really friendly but if you do not know a little bit of Spanish or Italian you might possibly get lost here. There are some rainforests if you are interest in Hiking Adventures.
Undiscovered places of interests are nightlife in Panama which I heard from Taxi driver is good and the best Chickas are the Colombians
