Panama City is actually three cities in one as the Conquistadors and minors carved in the history of this fabled Central American city. Among the ruins of old Panama lays the centerpiece of Panama City, the Cathedral Tower. This is Panama’s most spectacular and prideful national monument and thanks to a most recent renovation, travelers can climb to the very top for the first time in over three hundred years. Panama City is a maze of Spanish and French colonial buildings which will take one back to the times long before this modern age. The Panama Canal is only a brief half-day drive away and really is a must see anytime the traveler gets close to Panama.  

Kunayala is the local name for the San Blas Islands and this Caribbean archipelago of nearly four hundred coral islands is the home of the Kuna people. The excitement and the education that can be learned from meeting one of the most intact indigenous societies of the entire America’s is a memorable experience in the very least. One of the greatest hotels in all of Central America is the Hotel Kuna Niscua; a well cared for hotel on the island of Wichub-Hulaa. Rates run from fifty dollars per person per room and this includes a daily boat tour of the magnificent Kuna people. After a good night’s rest  the Hotel Kuna Niscua it is then time to see the rest of what this island archipelago of Kunayala has to offer. Te hotel offers a weekend extravaganza like no other and the best part is that it is all included in the room rate1 there is a great amount of that type of giving with out the thought of receiving in the Caribbean and maybe it is just that way in the island countries? If surfing is on the itinerary then there is no better than the Playa Santa Palina with waves reaching over twenty feet. This is definitely a surfer’s paradise one of the most beautiful spectacular places on earth to catch a wave. There is scuba diving and snorkeling all through the year as the weather stays a moderate seventy to ninety degrees Fahrenheit twelve months of the year. With two oceans and a host of wonderfully colorful flora and fauna, Panama City is one of the best kept secrets in the world and will remain that way hopefully for along time coming.
