The Casco Viejo. The Canal. Those skyscrapers. The shopping. It’s hard to think of an analog for Panama City. If you’ve been, you know there’s not really any place like it, at least in the Western Hemisphere, in It’s a fascinating blend of modern development.

Panama’s Old City, a magical kind of charm. If you head out to Bocas del Toro on the Caribbean coast, you find some of the most pristine landscapes in the Basin.
