Open Road's Best of Panama gives readers a small number of great choices and itineraries for one-day, weekend, one-week and two-week trips. Readers are not weighed down with tons of useless information ? we cut to the chase and give readers short descriptions. Only the top hotels and restaurants in each price category have been selected for this book. Readers will find a mix of unique trips of varying lengths for transiting the Panama Canal, relaxing in the Bocas del Toro area of beaches and tropical resorts, enjoying the cosmopolitan pleasures of Panama City, and touring world-class attractions like Darien National Park, the famous tropical research station of Isla Barra Colorado, and Coiba National Park. We also show readers how to visit with the indigenous people likes the Cuna Indians, the best spots for viewing wildlife in mountain and coastal parks, and special trips for birders and big-time billfish anglers ? for both of which Panama is considered the very best!
