Description
Lounge on a deserted beach or dive for treasure. Enjoy fine Panamanian coffee in a plantation and a jungle lunch with an Indian tribe. Follow the sounds of nearly 1,000 bird species. Make friends with monkeys, toucans, and iguanas. George Fischer’s images have captured Panama’s magical mix of nature, culture, history, and a thoroughly modern infrastructure. Best known for the Panama Canal, the country is also recognized for its other wonders: five UNESCO sites, distinct Indian cultures, more than 1,500 islands, and countless historical monuments.
