Panama city is located at the Pacific mouth of the Panama canal. As a major port it is renowned as a shopping centre. There are three distinct parts to the city, Panama Viejo, the 16th century ruins, the 17th century colonial city, Casco Viejo and the modern skyscraper city. The Panama Carnival sounds like one gigantic party. The Carnival dates vary but it's held over 4 days in January or February. Panama offer some of the best bird watching in the world with over 950 species to spot. There also plenty of watersports with surfing and snorkeling.
Sounds like there's something for everyone in Panama, it's a pity that it's so far from the UK.
