Panama - 'Melting Pot of the Americas'
In ecological geek-speak, the Panamanian rainforest has been described as ‘a motherlode of ecodiversity, emanating bio waves north and south.’ To the adventurous traveller it is rated simply as one of the greatest (and most easily accessible) jungle destinations on the planet.

At a point where the winds and weather cycles of two great oceans and two radically different landmasses meet, in a zone which is scarred by a history of intense geological activity and human conflict, Panama was always destined to be the ‘Melting Pot of the Americas.’

Profile:
Area: 78,200 sq km
Population: 3 million
Population density: 38 people / sq km
Languages: Spanish is the official language but English is very widely spoken and many Panamanians are virtually bi-lingual.
Conversation stopper: Palm trees and hammocks might seem like the perfect combination but beware: more people are killed by falling coconuts than by sharks.
