CNN includes Panama in the 11 places to go in 2014.
Panama: Canal’s 100th birthday is next year
The Panama Canal’s 100-year anniversary arguably is not, in and of itself, a top five reason for visiting the country in 2014.
But the events surrounding the big day and Panama’s other attractions certainly are.
“August 2014 marks 100 years since the completion of the Panama Canal, and that’s likely to attract more attention to the destination,” says Mary Moses, general manager at PEAK South America.
“However, Panama has a lot more to offer travelers than just the canal — volcanoes, rainforests, coffee plantations and beautiful beaches on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.”
Peregrine Adventures offers a 10-day Panama Highlights tour. Prices start from $2,171 per person (excluding flights).
