Geography and environment.

Bordering both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, Panama shares land borders with   Colombia   and   Costa Rica .

With a typical tropical climate and environment, Panama has an abundance of rainforest, jungle, mangroves, islands, beaches and natural harbors.

There are around 500 rivers flowing through Panama, this Central American land - full of biodiversity - also has mountain ranges that dramatically cut through the mainland.

Though many of Panama's mountains have volcanic origins, most are considered dormant and pose no threat to residents.

Best time to visit Panama

Most of Panama revels in a tropical climate with year-round high temperatures and humidity.

Travelers tend to visit during the dry season from around mid-December to mid-April, as the wet season (from May to November) usually results in sudden, frequent downpours mixed with bursts of sunshine.

As with most other countries, the weather is cooler at high altitudes and much warmer in the lowlands.

Top 5 brilliant beach spots of Panama

1. starfish beach.

This small beach in the stunning Bocas del Toro area is named for the hundreds of vibrant starfish that live here year-round. A walk along the peaceful shore will reveal colonies of huge orange and red starfish lurking quietly beneath the water.

2. Zapatillas Cays

Another of Bocas del Toro's beauties, these two postcard-worthy islands are home to seriously stunning beaches with crystalline water, powdery white sand, and coral reefs teeming with turtles and fish.

3. Isla Coiba

This rugged, Pacific coast nature reserve is rich in an incredible range of species, making it a wonderful place for divers and snorkellers out to spot a host of creatures. Marlin, swordfish, groupers, rays, sharks, and eels can all be found within the coral reefs surrounding the area, and the clear water only makes spying them all the easier.

4. Playa Chiquita

This rough and remote wonder located on the Caribbean Coast is one of Panama's best-kept secrets. Its isolated location means it's a little difficult to get to, but the tranquillity, space, and natural beauty make the journey worthwhile. Don't expect beach bars and boutiques - just long stretches of sand with few people in sight. Beach bliss!

5. Isla Grande

This laidback Caribbean island offers an authentic slice of Caribbean life for those wishing to escape the more frequented tourist spots. Featuring beaches speckled with leaves and palm fronds, and small shacks selling fruity cocktails and fresh beers, this haven hand delivers relaxation Caribbean-style.

Festivals and events

Public holidays that may impact travel include:.

• Mourning Day
• Carnival Day
• Old Panama City Day
• Independence Day from Colombia
• Colon's Day (Colon Only)
• Anniversary of the Uprising of Los Santos
• Independence Day from Spain

Please note dates of Panama's public holidays may vary.

Welcome to Panama, a country where the concept of exotic begins in its name, which means “abundance of fish and butterflies” in our indigenous language. Come to where the sun, adventure, mystery, opportunities (business or leisure) is also abundant. In this tourism site you will find all sorts of information to help you know our country, better known as “The Bridge of the World”, where modern cities meet with nature’s beauty and where there’s always something new to discover.

Panama means “the place of abundant fish,” but people like to say that everything is found in abundance here. And it’s true, as visitors will quickly discover for themselves. You’ll find an abundance of wildlife in Panama’s many national parks, an abundance of white sand beaches, hundreds of islands, more banks and shops than you would have dreamed possible, the Panama Canal and, of course, a fantastic quantity of fresh seafood, including fish.

Oceania Cruises to Launch First Cruises from Tampa, Florida

L uxury cruising is set to arrive in Tampa when Oceania Cruises sets sail from the Gulf Coast city in early 2026. The cruise line's 670-passenger Insignia will sail from Tampa to the Caribbean and Panama with four cruise departures ranging from seven to 20 days in March 2026. The sailings will mark the first time that an ultra-premium cruise line will set sail from Tampa.

While Tampa is no stranger to the cruise market, it has typically welcomed larger ships that cater more to the mainstream cruise market, including lines such as Carnival, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Royal Caribbean International.

But with the arrival of Oceania will come a more boutique, hotel-style version of cruising. The Insignia features spacious staterooms and suites decorated in calming color palettes inspired by the sea, sky, and land, accented with luxe fabrics and drapes, and the cruise line's exclusive Tranquility Beds. There's also a fitness center, sports deck with putting green, and enticing lounges and bars with exciting cocktail programs and energetic live shows. The Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center takes wellness to a new level, not only through its spa treatments and therapies, and fitness center, but gourmet plant-based dishes and wellness excursions in ports of call.

The "foodie" cruise line's ship (Oceania has made a name for itself as a cruise line with a strong culinary program ) also boasts five restaurants, all of which are overseen by an impressive culinary advisory board that is co-chaired by Chef Jacques Pépin and Giada De Laurentiis. And service standards are high with a dedicated crew of 400 accommodating the 670 passengers onboard.

Frank A. Del Rio, president of Oceania Cruises, noted in a statement that adding Tampa opens up more options for the cruise line to explore Florida's west coast and the Gulf of Mexico. "Tampa echoes the cosmopolitan essence of our beloved hometown of Miami with its diverse mix of international influences and cultures," Del Rio stated.

What to eat and do and where to stay in Tampa

That diverse mix of international influences and cultures is evident in Tampa's culinary scene, which makes the thriving city a terrific fit with Oceania. The city's culinary traditions were established back at the turn of the 20th century in the historic Ybor City district, once the "cigar capital of the world," where Cubans, Spaniards, Italians, Germans, and Romanians lived and worked alongside each other in the cigar industry.

Over the past decade or so, independent chefs have taken have taken up the mantle in elevating Tampa's dining scene, starting in the Seminole Heights neighborhood, like James Beard-nominated and Michelin-recognized Ferrell Alvarez and his Proper House Group's Rooster & the Till . Fast forward to today and Tampa has landed on the Michelin map with a handful of starred restaurants, including Lilac for Mediterranean cuisine, Rocca for an artisan Italian dinner, and the Omikase experience Kōsen , four Bib Gourmand spots and 21 other Michelin-recognized restaurants. There's also a popular food hall, Armature Works , and Sparkman Wharf features a street food scene housed in cargo shipping containers. Adding to the appeal, a lot of these venues are within walking distance of Port Tampa Bay, or a quick ride share away.

Tampa is accessible from across the country and around the world, with an estimated 100 non-stop destinations arriving into Tampa International Airport; and Orlando International Airport is about 85 miles east of Port Tampa Bay.

For those who want to extend their time in Tampa (and you definitely should), book into the Tampa Edition , the city's first five-star hotel; Palihouse Hyde Park Village , a boutique hotel in a charming neighborhood with a European vibe; or Hotel Haya , a sleek option in Ybor City. Take time to explore the bustling new Water Street district, a quick walk from the port with myriad restaurants; or hop the free trolley to Ybor City and wander the brick streets, stopping to tour J.C. Newman Cigar Co. , the last remaining cigar factory in the United States. Or, get onto the water by renting an e-boat or paddleboard to cruise around Tampa; a bit further out of town you can paddle among the locals- alligators, that is-at the Hillsborough River State Park .

Insignia will arrive into Tampa on March 3, 2026, at the end of its 9-day Tropical Harmony itinerary that will depart February 22, 2026, from Bridgetown, Barbados. Upon arrival in Tampa, the ship will embark upon seven- and 15-day Caribbean itineraries, and two departures for the Panama Canal: the 10-day Palms & Panama Canal on which guests disembark in Panama City, and the 20-day Panama Canal Connoisseur that continues on back to Miami.

These sailings depart March 2026 and are on sale now ; promotional fares are available. For example, the starting rate for an oceanview stateroom on the 9-day Tropical Harmony sailing from Barbados is $2,949 (regularly $5,898); on the seven-day Western Caribbean Escape, $2,449 (regularly $4,898); and $6,399 (regularly $12,798) on the 20-day Tampa to Miami voyage with a transit of the Panama Canal.
