Panama Vacations
The southernmost country in Central America, tourists recognize Panama as the location of the Panama Canal. Seeing a massive ship travel through the narrow passage is fascinating. The country's winding S-shape has led to a unique environment: rapids, rivers and islands fork off from the mainland, where rainforests, jungles and beaches can be found. Sea turtles and the colorful quetzal bird can be seen in their lush natural habitats, and Pinas Bay holds the most deep-sea fishing records in the world.
