From the beginning of this year, I have been travelling a lot to Panama, and while I was expecting some regular Central American small republic, I have found a stunning country, with a lot of life, a lot of business, a lot of fun, and mainly, natural beauty that is not easy to find anywhere else.

In the image above, you can see a panoramic view of the Pacific Coast at Panama City's shore.

Panama has it all: a capital, Panama City, which is the center of government and business, a very active lifestyle, a completely American culture (though they all speak Spanish - and in most cases Spanish-only), malls based on the American model, and with prices which can be compared to prices in the US, excellent restaurants, shiny hotels with great service, and much more. And - how can we forget - the Canal, which guarantees to this fast-growing country an income of millions of dollars per day.
