The small Isthmus of Panama is incredibly culturally diverse. Positioned as a crossroad for travelers since the early days of the conquest, the construction of the first trans-continental railroad and the construction of the Panama Canal have contributed to the melting pot of culture, tradition, and beliefs that make up the people of Panama. 

As you travel throughout the Panama you will find that each region has its own identity. This is the result of profound native Panamanian, African, Asian and European influences on the arts, cuisine, and lifestyle of the country.
