Panama Flights - A short guide. While linking North and South America with its thin band of land, the Republic of Panama is sliced by a shipping canal that is 40 miles (65km) long and connects the waters of the Caribbean and Pacific. The area is not yet known as a prime tourist destination, but is rather apt to attract adventure seeking voyagers and researchers. These travellers can take advantage of the un-crowded beaches, seek out treasures of the country’s history or explore the wonders of nature to find a variety animal and plant life. Abundance of fish and butterflies, the meaning behind the indigenous name of Panama, is a great indicator of the wealth of nature’s treasures to be found outside the captivating capital of Panama City. Going back thousands of years, the history of Panama is marked by the many indigenous peoples to have inhabited this land such as Kunas of San Blas Islands, and a difficult period of colonial occupation. The coastline boasts old Spanish forts that look over the waters pirates like Henry Morgan once sailed upon. This is also where the sea burial of Sir Francis Drake took place. The big attraction for many travellers who venture to this country is the startling beauty of the isthmus. A whopping 30 percent of the country is reserved to national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and forest reserves. Parque Nacional Darién, not far from Panama City, is an area of astounding beauty and Central America’s most spectacular wilderness.
