Panama |
Panama is the only country in the world, where you can stand in one spot and see the sun rise in the Pacific and set in the Atlantic. Panama privileged location in Central America means it has a wide diversity of landscapes, nature, as well as ethnics and traditions. It is home to both North and South American species of flora and fauna. It is one of the best places in the world for bird watching as well as fishing, sheltering more birds than United States and Canada combined. The Panama Canal is considered one of the Seven Modern Wonders of the World. Ships traveling between the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean save many thousands of kilometers by using it instead of going around Cape Horn. The 77 km canal is built across the Isthmus of Panama, extending from Panama City on the Pacific Ocean to the city of Colon on the Caribbean Sea. |
