Panama
Panama is defined by its narrow land bridge between two continents and two oceans, a geography that has shaped everything from its ecology to its economy. Rainforest covers much of the interior, while Pacific and Caribbean coastlines sit less than 80 kilometres apart in places. The canal remains the country's defining artefact — a working piece of infrastructure that still commands attention.
About Panama
Overview
Panama sits at the southern end of Central America, bordering Costa Rica to the west and Colombia to the east. Panama City is the capital and commercial hub, with Spanish as the official language and the US dollar — locally called the balboa — as the currency. The country has a notably cosmopolitan character, shaped by waves of migration tied to canal construction and international trade.
