One nice morning we found these friendly guys running around Panama while training to participate in different US marathons. One of them is the manager of a professional soccer team. These friends are great proof of how exercise keeps us in good shape and great spirits throughout our lives.

Our Panamanian friend is proud of historic Cerro Ancón. He even knows some poetry about its lush history. Let’s listen in to learn more about el corazón del universo.

With the right guide atop Cerro Ancón, you can learn about the most important spots in Panama City without fighting traffic. We were lucky enough to find a great guide to show us this beautiful city from on high.

Meet Rubén Blades, a Salsa superstar. He helped mix Cuban and Caribbean rhythms with Jazz in New York City. Rubén Blades (or, Rubencito here among friends) composed some salsa classics while also excelling as a singer. But that’s not all. Moviegoers may recognize him as one of the victims in Predator 2. He also has a law degree and ran for president of Panama. When this video with Calle 13 was filmed, he was Panama’s Tourism Minister.
