Travel Info What are the best nationally known places to visit in panama? Travel Tips I was in Panama about 3 years ago. Unmissable a boat trip on the Panama Canal. Also try the railway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean (Panama City to Colon). Visit to the Chagres River national park is really worth it. Panama has one of the most unspoilt rainforests in Central America. The Gamboa Resort offers a mini cable car to the top of a hill with wonderful views of the Canal and jungle. Fantastic if you have the opportunity: visit the San Blas Islands along the Caribbean Coast. Still run by local Amerindians called Kuna, they are fascinating both for their beauty and for the amazing Kuna communities that build towns similar to primitive Venices on the lagoon's islands. In Panama City visit the Casco Viejo, the Old Town with its Spanish Colonial style streets and churches and lovely restaurants and the Panama la Vieja, the location of the first city centre a few miles away from the present one, which was destroyed by pirate Henry Morgan in 1671, prompting the relocation of the city to safer ground. There you'll see lots of wonderful ruins. Other must-sees: the Bridge of the Americas, over the Canal which connects North and South America, and the El Valle extinct volcano, now a lush valley on the hills with lots of fantastic forest visits available. At the time I spent some days at amazing coastal eco-lodge Tesoro del Caribe near Portobelo, another historically important little town. I would recommend that too.
