Panama with Nolitours

This week on the Travel Show we explore one of Central America’s best kept secrets – the untouched gem of Panama. Visitors can discover towering volcanoes, secluded beaches, exuberant rainforests bursting with exotic wildlife – and very few fellow travellers!

Experience nature in all its glory as you gaze at the exquisitely transparent waters of the Caribbean from your own deserted cove. Travel into the rainforest to see a local village. The more adventurous may want to trek through the rainforest or even spend part of their vacation there in an eco-lodge. Discover the history and grandeur of the Panama Canal – a true engineering marvel. And in Panama City you will discover a modern, cosmopolitan city with a skyline of elegant high rise buildings and fabulous brand name stores. Dance the night away in one of Panama City’s lively nightclubs. Or try your luck at the casinos. This bustling “new generation” Latin American city has high end luxury hotels.
