Panamá's Absolute Essentials
Panama's landscape is defined by the Panama Canal and its Miraflores locks, a feat of modern engineering connected by the iconic Bridge of the Americas. Historic exploration centers on the colonial architecture of Casco Viejo and the 16th-century fortifications at San Lorenzo and Portobelo. The Frank Gehry-designed Biomuseo showcases the region's natural history, while the Amador Causeway and Mercado del Mariscos offer local flavors. For nature enthusiasts, Ancon Hill provides city panoramas, and Volcán Barú marks the country’s highest point.
