| Panama
is a land of magic and mystery filled with natural and cultural
riches with a legacy that has shaped the world's history. |
|
This Central American country, not only boasts an excellent
quality of public services and infrastructure, charming
and welcoming people, a canal considered the world's eighth
wonder; but is blessed with splendid biodiversity found
within magnificent rainforests, spectacular seas and seven
ethnic indigenous groups which still preserve ancestral
cultures and traditions.
The emergence of the Isthmus of Panama more than 3 million
years ago was the most transcendental event in the evolutionary
history of the western hemisphere.

 |
Since
then, a great variety of animal and plant species have been
able to migrate from one continental mass to another through
Panama, where many congregate to offer an array of unique
biodiversity.

Panama
is home to more than 960 species of birds, 220 species of
mammals, 240 species of reptiles, 175 species of amphibians
and over 10,000 species of vascular plants, making Panama
a natural jewel to be discovered.
