DISCOVER THE POWER OF NATURE
IN AN ELEGANT SETTING
PANAMA IS A NATURAL SANCTUARY MADE UP OF RAW BEAUTY
In Panama you will find both Pacific and Caribbean beaches, cloud forests in the highlands, a volcano, mountain vegetation on the highest summits, lakes, rivers, mangroves, and thousands of islands. With such biodiversity, the country is a unique and largely unspoiled natural sanctuary that you can only discover little by little.
A HUB OF BIODIVERSITY
Panama is a tropical paradise that hosts some of the most diverse and exotic species of animals and plants of the planet. Due to its geographical position, the country serves as a biological corridor connecting North and South America. Almost entirely covered in rainforest, with mountain forests and mangrove wetlands, it is home to over 10,444 types of plants, 255 mammals species, and 972 indigenous bird species, according to the National Society for the Protection of Nature of Panama.
IT IS HOME TO EXOTIC AND EXCITING WILDLIFE
As a biological corridor between North and South America, Panama is a a tropical paradise with a burgeoning flora and fauna. Spotting wildlife is one of the top things to do in Panama. Go to Panama and you’ll discover animal species that don’t exist anywhere else, including whales, jaguars, butterflies, eagles and golden frogs.
PANAMA IS THE SAFEST COUNTRY IN LATIN AMERICA
With a stable government and a small population, Panama is considered to be the safest country of Latin America. Because of the Canal and the tax jurisdiction, there is an international interest in preserving a safe environment for investment across the Republic of Panama.
THE CHAMPAGNE OF COFFEES
As a small coffee producing country, Panama has many advantages that make its coffee so prestigious. The altitude, as well as the perfect balance of sun and humidity and the many microclimates are ideal for the production of a wonderful variety of aromas. The geisha coffee, grown on the mountains of Boquete, is sometimes referred to as the “champagne of coffees”, due to its refined character – and its cost. One of field trips!
