PANAMA HOME
PANAMA
is one of the 7 countries of
CENTRAL AMERICA. Though most famous for it's canal
which makes the country one of the greatest crossroads of the world,
Panama is, as the tour industry likes to boast, 'much more than a
canal'. Dense tropical rainforest covers more than half the country,
and is sandwiched between thousands of kilometers of beautiful coastline
on both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Due
to the country's complex history, Panama is a melting pot of cultures.
It is the most cosmopolitan and economically developed country in
Central America, and at the same time, home to some of the most
culturally fascinating indigenous communities.
The
population is 2,991,000 and the main language is Spanish, though
English is widely spoken. The currency is the US dollar and phone
country code is 507.
