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.

Beautiful Panama has been promoted to tourists with the slogan “Se queda en tí” (“It stays with you”). Panamanian waters are great for surfing, for fishing and for floating around and chatting. Let’s meet Cholito, one of the locals, who will show us around in his boat!

Cholito prefers the gentle beauty of nature to any colossal modern hotels. There are some plans to develop Cholito’s favorite Panamanian beaches, but he (and many other locals) love the way things are. After our boat ride around the islands, we understand why!

Panamanian Carnival Queen, Nohelys Gonzalez, shares with us a bit about this much anticipated celebration as well as her beautiful nation.

Enrique Sanchez, a marketing manager for Panama's Tourism Authority, gives us a plethora of ideas about what to do when visiting this vibrant country, which combines and contrasts tradition with modernity.

Denisse from Panama City, Panama tells us a bit about her beautiful city, as well as the famous Panama Canal that connects the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

When in Panama City, the world-famous Panama Canal is a must-see. Local tour guide Milo takes us by car over the Bridge of the Americas, the first bridge to be built over the canal.
