Panama is small and mostly well connected, and it has one genuinely modern metro system and several journeys that are an experience whether or not you wanted one.
Panama has been a place everything passes through for five hundred years, and the food shows it. The national dishes are simple and the influences behind them are not.
Panama is a crossroads that has been one for five centuries, and it is more comfortable with outsiders than most places. That does not make everything open, and the lines that do exist are worth knowing.

Panama has two distinct Black histories and they are usually collapsed into one. The Congos of the Caribbean coast descend from people who escaped slavery in the sixteenth century. The Afro-Antillean community arrived to build the canal.
Panama splits sharply in two for a traveler with a mobility impairment. Panama City is among the more workable capitals in the region, and almost everything that makes Panama famous beyond it involves a boat.
Panama is unusual in this region: nothing in the advice this cluster cites advises against travel anywhere in the country. What it gives instead is one line and one condition, and this guide keeps that distinction intact.
