Dictators, cigars and the world's most famous short-cut? There's more to
Panama than its clichés. More than a third of Panama's land is
protected; it's home to 940 bird species and some of the world's most
important turtle nesting grounds. Here puma prowl, the drumming of
riotous festivals fills the air--and visitor numbers are soaring. It's
also a land where timetables are unpredictable and public holidays occur
without notice, where places have three names spelled four different
ways and roads terminate unannounced. The Bradt guide is the most
thorough on the market--and visitors to Panama will need it.
