Places to Visit in Panamá

Dare to discover Panama, a country with great diversity: tropical rainforests, a modern city, and cool climate valleys, but with a small size that allows you to spend more time visiting and engaging in activities, and less time on travel.

Explore Boquete and the Highlands, two cool climate regions renowned for their lush trails and cuisine, featuring some of the world's most sought-after coffees. Fall in love with the cosmopolitan Panama City, and escape to the beach whenever you want: the Pacific Riviera, a coastal destination surrounded by mountains and valleys, is just an hour's drive from the capital.

From the Pacific to the Caribbean, a world of adventures awaits. Don’t miss Bocas del Toro, one of our Caribbean paradises where you can dive, meet locals, or enjoy a tropical rainforest hike any time of the year. Discover Portobelo, where Spanish colonial ruins and African heritage transport you through time. Feel the year-round surf vibes in Pedasí and Tonosí, and explore the famous biodiversity of the Pacific coast in Veraguas. Do it all, or just do what you love most.
