Panama: More Than a Canal

Tweet

The capital of Panama is Panama City. Most people in the world know that the Panama Canal passes through the country of Panama and that this canal links the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean, but there is much more to Panama than the canal. Many different cultures of people live in Panama, and many come from a mix of indigenous and European ancestry. The official language is Spanish. More than 1600 islands are scattered along Panama's coasts, where many persons fish in dugout canoes. The land consists of cool mountain woodlands, savannas, and humid rain forests. Many grow their own food. I have always wanted to go through the Panama Canal on a ship I have read much about this adventure and it intrigues me. Have you ever been through the Panama Canal? I will share some other facts with you later.
