Panama, a country slightly larger than Switzerland, deserves to be known for more than just its canal, as impressive as that may be.
In a world where natural wilderness is increasingly rare, and indigenous people are gradually disappearing, this wonderfully preserved country is well worth a visit. Its luxuriant nature, the great cultural diversity of its tribal people, and its richly historical locations are all part of a journey of discovery blessed by the trade winds from the Pacific and the Caribbean. Not to mention the special atmosphere around its volcano.
