Panam The crossroad of the world Panama is located in the Southern part of the Central Americas isthmus. It is bordered to the South East by Colombia and to the West by Costa Rica. It is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea in the North and by the Pacific Ocean in the South. Panama's arched shape reflects both its role as a bridge between continents and as a passage way between oceans. Indeed, they are linked by the Panamas canal which construction started in 1903 and was inaugurated in 1914. This canal crosses a natural unevenness formed by San Blas and Talamanca cordillera. Its real length is 65 Km, nevertheless the canals length from deep-water areas where navigation is possible is 80 Km (50mi). Panam is universally famous for this canal, prowess of civil engineering and hyphen between the greatest oceans of the world. However, mentioning only the Canal would be reducing Panams wonders. Beside it, the country counts with a rich historical Heritage dating from Spanish colonization, an astonishing variety of fauna and flora, and it offers fine sand beaches inspiring "farniente". Furthermore, there are many and very accessible indigenous people. Politically stable and well-equipped with modern infrastructures, Panam benefits from all the "Incentive" ingredients, with the "plus" of being at the beginning of its tourism History. We invite you to go beyond the stereotypes about Panama, and to discover this country which natural and human richness are just about to be discovered.
