The southernmost country in Central America, Panama offers some completely unique features from its neighbors. With the largest rain forest in the Western Hemisphere outside the Amazon Basin, the land bridge that Panama forms with South America makes it party to wildlife not found anywhere else in Central America. Panama is also home to one of the most modern capital cities in Central America, Panama City, a major banking center with heavy American influence. The Caribbean coast features some excellent getaway islands like Bocas del Toro and the fascinating San Blas Islands with a high concentration of indigenous populations.
Panama is bordered by Costa Rica and Colombia to the west and east and the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean to the north and south. The long rainy season is from April to January and the climate is always tropical: steamy with late afternoon showers and temperatures averaging 27C - 30C (80F - 85F) year-round.
