Felt Applique
The Panama Adventure
Looking for a diversified natural experience? Panama is the right place to go. It has plenty to offer in a way of nature, history and culture. There are three regions of interest in here, the new city, the old city, and the colonial city. Panama has an extensive range of cultural experiences, like the numerous historic monuments and a 300 year old World Heritage Site called Casco Antiguo. Much of this cultural heritage, Panama is also a paradise for water sports enthusiasts and eco-tourists alike. They have famous white sand beaches, temperate and tropical rainforests, breathtaking mountains, and a variety of Panama hotels.
Tourism is one of Panama’s rising economic endeavor and due to this, tourist flock at numerous Panama hotels. Visitors have diverse choice for a place to stay, from a high end class hotel to a budgeted one. Panama is a good place to buy consumer electronics, clothing and cosmetics. They also have traditional Panamanian crafts that can be found most cheaply at Artesania markets. Panama’s best-known craft is the mola, intricate reverse-applique handwork. Other Panamanian crafts include carved tagua nuts, cocobolo carvings of animals, woven palm-fiber baskets, and soap stone carvings.
One can enter Panama without a visa but required to purchase a tourist card on arrival. We arrived at Panama City on an early morning with a pleasant atmosphere. We had reserved for only one night at this beautiful hotel. A trendy 29-story hotel offers 240 guestrooms. All rooms are artistically highlighted with etched-glass partitions and clean-lined decor. They offer luxury accommodations in the heart of Panama City’s business and shopping district. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the good tasting martini and the deliciously fresh sushi that the hotel served.
The next morning, we moved to another hotel to be near to Old Panama City Ruins and the Panama Canal. Our favorite place in the hotel is the coffee shop and the lobby for their cocktail bar’s and piano music. We also had a lot of fun in the casino, relaxing health spa and outdoor pool. In the afternoon, we visited the Metropolitan Natural Park, a 265-hectare that features Latin America’s only natural forest within a metropolitan capital. Also part of our itinerary is to see the Casco Antiguo, the city’s Colonial historical area and the 5,000-foot Bridge of the Americas spanning canal.
Panama was a marvelous experience and revelation. We went there expecting little, but we left feeling fulfilled. Our visit has been very memorable, we wanted to stay longer, but even within the limitations of our brief sojourn, we felt we had made a major discovery on the exquisite beauty of Panama. We promise we would be back before long.
