A Taste of Panama

Panama's cuisine is a delightful fusion of flavors influenced by its diverse cultural heritage. The national dish, "Sancocho," is a hearty and flavorful chicken stew that represents the essence of Panamanian food. It's made with chicken, yams, corn, and various vegetables, simmered with aromatic spices to create a comforting and savory meal. Other traditional dishes include "Arroz con Guandú," a rice dish cooked with pigeon peas, and "Patacones," fried green plantains served as a delicious side. Seafood is also a highlight, with fresh catches like snapper, lobster, and shrimp featured prominently in coastal areas. The combination of indigenous, Spanish, and Afro-Caribbean influences results in a diverse and tantalizing culinary experience for travelers in Panama.

General Info

Culture: Panama's culture is a diverse and vibrant mix of indigenous traditions, Spanish colonial heritage, and Afro-Caribbean influences. You can explore this rich culture through art, music, dance, and local festivals. Visiting indigenous communities, experiencing traditional dances like the "Pollera," and learning about the country's history are all part of Panama's cultural tapestry.

Safety: Panama is generally safe for travelers, including luxury tourists. However, it's advisable to exercise the same precautions you would in any other destination. Keep an eye on your belongings, be aware of your surroundings, and use hotel safes for valuable items. Stick to reputable areas and avoid displaying expensive items, especially in crowded places.

Food and Water: The food in Panama offers a mix of flavors influenced by its multicultural heritage. While dining in established restaurants and luxury resorts is generally safe, be cautious when trying street food. It's advisable to drink bottled water and avoid tap water. Ensure that the seal on the bottle is intact before consuming the water.

Currency and Payments: Panama uses the Balboa (PAB) as its official currency, but the U.S. dollar (USD) is widely accepted and used interchangeably. Major credit cards are accepted in upscale hotels, restaurants, and shops. ATMs are readily available in tourist areas, allowing you to withdraw cash in local currency.

Tipping: Tipping is customary in Panama and is appreciated for good service. In restaurants, it's common to leave a tip of 10-15% of the bill, especially in upscale dining establishments. Tipping is also customary for services like taxi rides and tour guides, and it's a way to show appreciation for exceptional service.

Luxury Transportation Around the Country: Luxury transportation options in Panama include private chauffeur-driven cars, luxury coaches, and domestic flights to various regions.
