Panama | ITMB 2024

Panama is a fascinating Central American country that defies expectations by being an east-west nation rather than a north-south one. Its historic significance is two-fold:

• Discovery of the Pacific Ocean: Spanish conquistadors first set eyes on the vast Pacific Ocean here.
• The Panama Canal: Much of the world's commercial goods pass through this vital link between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The Canal is an essential "must-see" attraction.

But Panama offers much more beyond its famous canal:

• Santa Catalina: A world-class surfing destination.
• The Pearl Islands: Home to virgin forests and pristine beaches.
• Boquete: Nestled in the northern mountains, this valley is known as the "valley of the flowers."
• Panama City: A vibrant economic hub perfect for shopping and exploration.

In recent years, Panama has invested heavily in tourism, making it an even more appealing destination:

• Roads are excellent.
• The people are friendly.
• Restaurants are outstanding.
• The country is peaceful.

This very up-to-date edition of the Panama map includes:

• Inset maps of Panama City and the canal area.
• Durable waterproof stone paper, ideal for use in tropical climates.
