Panama is from Central America, South America or Both???? |
Travel Info Panama is from Central America, South America or Both???? Travel Tips Panama is a very interesting case of geopolitics: Geographically its definetely Central America, just by looking at a map and seeing that its the end of the Central American isthmus. Historically its South American as, since the pre-Columbian times, its indigenous population was more related to the Chibcha indians of Colombia and, remotely, to the Incas of Peru. This historical connecction remained during the Spanish conquest, and the Grand Colombia project of the early 19th Century. Panama had little, if any common history with the rest of Central America until the 20th century. BUT culturally, Panama is definetely Caribbean, having more in common with Cuba, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic than with either Colombia or Costa Rica. If you compare foods, music, language, climate, etc; you will see how Caribbean Panama really is.

Panama is now the first county of Central America, because it was a part of Colombia, until someone wanted a canal. "A Path between the seas" WIKIPEDIA, Library of Congress. |
