In the past couple years Panama has become Central America's hottest destination. Beyond its famous canal (which 100 years after its completion still astonishes all who visit), scads of travelers are discovering vast jungles that hold amazing biological diversity, idyllic islands ringed with coral reefs, and mountain forests filled with exotic birds. Panama City is the exciting, and rapidly developing, hub from which to explore—a vibrant and diverse metropolis with excellent dining, lodging, and nightlife, and an abundance of day-trip options.
