Panama Province is
located on the Pacific side of Panama, bordering on
the provinces of Darien, San Blas, Colon and Cocle.

is also the capital of the country of Panama. The
province has a long coastline, which includes the
beaches of Playa Gorgona, Playa Coronado, Playa San

Contadora.

The
archipelago of Bocas del Toro in Panama is situated
on the northwestern coast of Panama in and around
the Bay of Chiriqui. This isolated region of Panama
has only recently been discovered by international
travelers. It is for this reason that much of the
island chain remains in pristine and untouched
splendor. It is a diver and outdoor lovers paradise
with unspoiled coral reefs, deep-sea fishing,
boating, kayaking, snorkeling and long sandy
deserted beaches. |

|
| With so
much to offer, the Comarca Kuna is one of the preferred
destinations both for adventurers and tourists, for
culture and history lovers and for those seeking
adventure. When approaching the Kuna coasts, there is an
almost indescribable feeling of serenity, probably
emanating from the green and blue of nearby reefs, from
the coralline white sanded beaches, the bamboo and straw
huts, all merging harmoniously in this wonderful and
mysterious destination. |

What many visitors to
Panama don't realize is that just at the western tip of the
republic, lies an undiscovered land brimming with promises of
wildlife, adventure, exotic culture and enchanting mountain villages
that will make you long to extend your stay. This tropical mountain
paradise pleasantly surprises those who don't expect to find a home
away from home. |

Panama, and is most famous for the production of tomatoes and sugar. The capital
of Cocle is Penonome, which is located on the Chiriqui river in central Cocle.

The Caribbean province of Colon has seen some
colorful history. First came the Spanish, harried by scavenging
pirates. Then in the 19th century came the gold rush 49ers from
the east coast of the United States, willing to face the rigors
of walking through Panama's humid jungles to seek riches in
California. A historic railroad the first ever to cross a
continent was built to speed them on their way. Then, at the
beginning of the 20th century, came the great days of the
construction of the Panama Canal. |
