Panama City |
|
|
"Simon Bolívar", 1826 If the world had to choose a capital, the Isthmus of Panamá, would be the obvious place for that high destiny.
Few cities in Latin America can match the diversity, cosmopolitanism and sheer energy of Panama City in the Republic of Panama: polyglot and post-modern before its time, in many ways it is closer in atmosphere to the mighty trading cities of Asia – Hong Kong or Singapore – than to anywhere else in the region. Situated on one of the great crossroads of the world, the NEW SILK ROUTE and the CROSS-ROADS of the AMERICAS the city has always thrived on commerce, and its unique geographical position and the opportunities it presents have attracted immigrants from all over the globe. Though it is the undisputed political and social centre of the Republic of Panamá and home to almost half its population, Panamá City's gaze is fixed firmly on the outside world, and its inhabitants pay scant attention to what they refer to rather vaguely as "the interior". Open-minded and outward looking, the population is among the sharpest and most sophisticated in Central America.

Take a Virtual Tour of Panama City
With a spectacular setting on the Pacific bay of the same name, with the canal on one side and lush, forested mountains rising behind, Panamá City encompasses some startling incongruities. On the southwest end of the bay stands the old city centre of San Felipe, a jumble of crumbling colonial churches and nineteenth-century mansions, while 4km or so to the northeast rise the shimmering skyscrapers of El Cangrejo, the modern banking and commercial district. Further east, amid the sprawling suburbs, stand the ruins of Panamá Viejo, the first European city to be founded on the Pacific coast of the Americas, while west of San Felipe the former US Canal Zone town of Balboa retains a distinctly North American character despite having been returned to Panamanian control in 1979.Those who find the city's ceaseless commercial energy overwhelming, meanwhile, can easily escape: to Isla Taboga, the idyllic "island of flowers" some 20km off the coast; along the Amador Causeway that juts out into the Pacific beside the canal; or into the Parque Nacional Metropolitano, the only pristine tropical rainforest within the limits of a Latin American capital. Panamá City is also a good base from which to explore the rest of the country – the canal, Colón and the Caribbean coast as far as Portobelo can all be visited on day-trips.

Panama Viejo
Founded in 1519 by the conquistador Pedrarías Dávila, Panamá Viejo is the oldest European settlement on the Pacific coast of the Americas. Within a few years of its founding, the city became a launching point for the exploration and conquest of Peru and a transit point for gold and silver headed back to Spain through the Isthmus. In 1671 Henry Morgan with a band of 1400 men attacked and looted the city, which was subsequently destroyed by fire. The ruins of the old city still remain and are a popular tourist attraction known as Panamá la Vieja (Old Panama).

If Her lips are moving, She is lying to you. Her mother does not have canser, Her brother did not get killed by a drug dealer, Someone did not steal her cell phone. These are common lies the the girls in Panama and Costa Rica use on older gringo men. It is very common for all of these girls to have a list of woo's and your money can cure them, it never stops. Every week they have a new lie. Also a 18 to 30 year old women can not be in love with a 60 year old man. The young man who you thought is her brother, is eather her pimp, her husband, or her boyfriend and she wants you to give money to him also. It is all a lie, wake-up this is the truth from the lips of Panama Jack
