Exotic tropical rainforests, beautiful mountain refuges, Caribbean-style beaches, seven living Indian cultures, a Miami-style capital city, historical sites, golf, diving, rafting, sport fishing, all in a country just 50 miles wide and about the size of South Carolina. It is home to the 8th Wonder of the World and an engineering marvel … The Panama Canal.

Panama is safe.
Panama has the highest rating for tourist safety from the Pinkerton Intelligence Agency. In a Newsweek magazine article on tourism safety worldwide, Panama received the same tourism rating as the USA. Foreign residents in Panama will tell you how safe they feel living in Panama compared to any other country in Central America.

Panama has a First-Class World Infrastructure.
Panama has a first-rate world infrastructure starting with a safe cosmopolitan Miami-style capital city with high speed internet, first rate hotels, fine dining and beautiful shopping malls.

As part of Central America, Panama is just a short plane ride away. Eight major US cities offer direct daily flights to Panama City: Los Angeles, New York, Newark, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Orlando.

Panama is tourist friendly.
English is spoken as a second language. The Panamanian people are amongst the friendliest in the world. They are known for their peaceful, easy-going and fun-loving nature. As a result of the 90 years of American presence in the Canal Zone, the Panamanians understand and appreciate Americans and thousands have worked with the Americans and studied in the U.S.

Panama uses the U.S. Dollar for currency.
Panama’s currency is the U.S. dollar which is a great convenience eliminating the need for currency exchange since your bank accounts and investments are all in U.S. dollars. No need to be a mathematical genius to figure out what a meal costs or how much to tip the bellboy.

Panama has world-class medical facilities and a healthy environment.
Many Panamanian doctors speak English fluently and are American trained. Several hospitals have medical services on par with the US hospitals. Sanitary conditions are excellent – there very few cases of what tourists call “Montezuma’s Revenge”. You can even drink the tap water which is a rarity in Latin America. An amazing abundance of fresh, inexpensive fruits and vegetables makes healthy living so easy.
