Panama is the only place in the world where you can see the sun rise on the Pacific and set on the Atlantic.

This unique geographical feature is due to Panama's curved S-shape, allowing for breathtaking views.

The Panama Canal generates one-third of Panama’s economy.

The canal is a vital trade route that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, making it a crucial component of global commerce.

Panama has more bird species than the United States and Canada combined.

With over 970 different bird species, Panama is a birdwatcher’s paradise, showcasing an incredible diversity of wildlife.
