Panama, famed for its legendary canal and biodiversity, is the exotic bridge between Central and South America. This fascinating guide offers a strong focus on the Bocas del Toro region, a sparkling archipelago with much to offer travellers looking for wildlife and cultural heritage. With an idyllic landscape of volcanoes, rainforest and Caribbean coasts, and a skyline ever-colourful with butterfly migrations and over 940 species of birdlife, Panama is the perfect getaway and also the ideal place for watersports and hiking.

Review:

"I'd recommend this guide to anyone! It's excellently written and provides an honest, objective and rich insight into Panama. Don't make the trip without it. It'll be money well spent." --S Berry, Hitchin

"If your primary concern is buying the best guide to Panama possible as opposed to one that is run-of-the-mill, then this guide is for you. There simply isn't a guide that covers Bocas del Toro or Kuna Yala in equal detail and every chapter is a revellation - even for those, like me, that know Panama well." --Nancy Stephens, Panama

From the Back Cover:

There's more to Panama than its canal; this bridge between Central and South America is host to a fascinating mix of cultures. From the traditional Kuna in the San Blas islands to the fusion of Latino, Caribbean and Indian influences in the Bocas region, the country offers remarkable diversity.
Panama is the latest ecotourism hotspot, with rainforest covering a third of its area. While twitchers delight in 350 species of bird - more than anywhere else on Earth - others can enjoy spectacular butterfly migrations. With excellent fishing, rafting and hiking, this is a haven for those with a passion for the outdoors.
