The farthest and one of the smallest of the Central American countries, located south of Costa Rica, famous for its canal which is the greatest architectural marvel of the world, crossing the country from north to south over a distance of sixty-nine km.
A wonderful country bordered to the north by the Caribbean sea and to the west by the Pacific Ocean.
lt boasts several rain forests with their different Indian tribes. This is a great destination for nature lovers; ecotourism and bird watching tours are in full expansion.
Several regions offer good quality diving, but the best surprises await you on Coiba island (penitentiary island and biological centre) reached by an hour and a half flight from Panama City, and farther south on the island of Jicaron.
Situated in the Pacific, the criteria of Pacific waters apply, and you will marvel at the density and abundance of marine life. In just one dive it is not unusual to see groups of sharks and dolphins, turtles and schools of fish.
These islands are on their way to supplanting Coco Island and the Galapagos for diving experience.
