The iconic Panama Canal offers a glimpse into engineering marvel, while Volcan Baru provides spectacular ocean views and plays host to an abundance of wildlife. Contadora Island boasts the most desirable beaches any traveler could wish for.  Panama can be as exhilarating or as laid-back as you wish!
