A large melting pot of American, Caribbean, Indian and Panamanian cultures, Panama makes for a fascinating destination where children can learn about different customs, heritage, backgrounds and ways of life.

Watching the huge tankers negotiate the Panama Canal is a major attraction of any vacation to Panama, as is the opportunity for good wildlife viewing.

Combine all this with the various unique snorkeling and beach options available off both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts; Panama is a wonderfully different choice when planning a family vacation.
