Discover le Panama
Few of us can place Panama precisely on a planisphere. This narrow strip of land, too often reduced to its famous canal, has played a major role in the history of mankind. A territory that attracted the interest of the great European powers ever since the Pacific Ocean was discovered here in 1513. The isthmus became a strategic passageway for the riches of the New World. Its vocation as a transit route has been preserved to this day, with gigantic ships using the legendary Panama Canal. But behind this technological prowess lies a truly sovereign country, with a population of mixed races, proud of its traditions and idyllic landscapes. In the pages that follow, you'll discover its flora and fauna, key moments in its history, cuisine, music... all of which will help you to get to know the Panamanians in greater depth.
