The best known attraction in Panama is the Panama Canal, “the eighth wonder of the world”, but the richness of this nation that joins the two American continents lies in the great variety of travel experiences offered within its borders. The Casco Viejo, the colonial heart of Panama City, exemplifies the rich colonial heritage of the region. Within a short did stance, the visitor may find themselves in a rustic lodge the heart of the tropical jungle, or a beachfront cottage overlooking the Caribbean Sea or for a unique experience, a native run eco-resort in the semi-autonomous Kuna Yalu, the home of the fiercely independent indigenous Kuna people, famous for the richness of their hand woven and dyed cloth. Panama City itself is the spot for nightlife and great shopping.
