For some, it's a "mini Manhattan"; for others, it's the "new Miami". The truth is that even if it is because of the many skyscrapers or because of its exotic beaches, Panama is fast becoming the Hub of the Americas.
A safe, stable country, with a population of 3.2 million inhabitants, with the U.S. dollar as official currency and a strategic geographical location, Panama offers its citizens and visitors alike a world class tourism.
If history is what you are looking for, we suggest you visit Panama la Vieja, where you can admire some still standing 500-year old structures while walking on cobblestone paved streets.
For the traveling epicure, Panama is the country of tastes. He would have to live here in order to visit the dozens of restaurants offering exquisite cuisine to satisfy the most refined and fastidious palates.
The visitor will be at a loss to decide between splendid beaches, beautiful islands and our tropical forests, barefoot walking on white sand beaches with transparent waters, or trekking on jungle trails to admire the thousands of bird species, part of a natural wealth that will leave them speechless.
If business is your purpose, we are a first class banking center, with business opportunities waiting to be discovered. On a shopping spree? The Colon Free Zone is expecting you!
