| First real city I found in Central America Posted 02 May 2009 by Pedro Things to do & see: Panama City is one of these places you can do in 1 day if you are in a hurry or you can do it in 5 days (especially when you stay there over the weekend and can enjoy 24 hours nightlife).

| Escaping gringos in Panama Posted 14 Mar 2009 by Holly and Nick If you are a bit tired of the crowds heading between Panama City, Boquette and Bocas then head up into the mountain village of Santa Fe for a couple of days.
