Vacation Packages to Panama from Edmonton
Forget the Panama of twenty, thirty years ago, when its impressive canal felt like the only reason to visit. A lot has changed. The incredible engineering feat is still as impressive as ever and definitely something to witness but the country has re-invented itself to become both cosmopolitan and eco-friendly, and one of the hottest up-and-coming tourist destinations in the world.
Panama City now resembles Miami in its modernity, sophistication and services and offers everything a present day metropolis should with world-class restaurants, museums and art galleries, shopping and great places to stay. Infrastructure, in general, is possibly the best in all of Central America and makes the country easy to explore and enjoy. Away from the bustle of the capital, visitors have immediate access to incredible beaches, islands and protected rainforests with a bio-diversity second to none.
Straddling the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Panama is a water sports enthusiast's dream. You name it, it's here; snorkel, scuba, surf and sea kayak to pristine cays and uninhabited islets or laze around on unspoiled beaches, feasting on the freshest seafood at rustic beach bars or exclusive all-inclusive resorts. Inland, dense jungle, steep mountains and pristine rainforests house 900 species of birds, thousands of plant and animal species and are best explored with a guide or on an escorted tour. Need more? Horseback riding, white-water rafting, deep-sea fishing, zip-line canopy tours, hiking, rock climbing, coffee tasting and therapeutic hot springs are all on the activity menu and definitely worthy of a try.
