The islands of Bocas del Toro are particularly popular with surfers. Countless hostels and upscale resorts are hotspots for surf fans.

Especially the Pacific coast has a lot to offer. Quote from a travel blog: "Santa Catalina has a killer point break, according to which the pros of the world lick all ten fingers, called "La Punta". This reef literally attracts the swell and creates one of the best surf waves in Central America".

Dolphin and whale watching 

The "Galapagos Island of Panama", ISLA COIBA, offers a fantastic underwater world. Formerly a famous prison island, this spot is almost untouched by tourism. Other recommended areas for diving etc. are the National Park Boca Chica, Bocas del Toro and the San Blas Islands.

PANAMA CANAL - canal sightseeing, museum, Puente de las Americas and Puente Centenario

The history of the construction of the Panama Canal is very interesting. Also the functioning of the locks, the towing locomotives and all other installations. A visit to this marvel of technology is a must for every Panama visitor.

BIOMUSEO in Panama City: Exceptional location and architecture. The museum shows the biological diversity of the small country, which exceeds the biodiversity of all North America. The surrounding biodiversity park extends the exhibition into the surrounding landscape. 

AVENIDA BALBOA in Panama City: A perfect walk along the well-kept promenade to admire the skyline of Panama City. The Trump Tower (Latin America's tallest building in 2011), the Torre Vitri and the Bicsal Financial Center are Panama's tallest skyscrapers with post-modern architecture. After four kilometers, you will pass the fish market and reach Panama's old town with its presidential palace and many beautifully restored buildings. Here the nightlife has its special charm.
