About Panama

Panama is where two worlds meet—literally and culturally. Bridging North and South America, it’s a land of contrasts that captures the best of both. Here, you can wake up to the sound of rainforest birds, spend the afternoon sailing the Pacific or Caribbean, and end the day dining in a sleek rooftop lounge overlooking the city skyline.

From the legendary Panama Canal, one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, to the colorful streets of Casco Viejo, every corner tells a story of resilience, heritage, and transformation. The country’s unique mix of Afro-Caribbean, Latin, and Indigenous influences shines through its music, cuisine, and people—creating an energy that feels both soulful and sophisticated.

Whether you’re exploring tropical islands in the San Blas archipelago, shopping in Panama City’s designer boutiques, or indulging in the flavors of traditional Panamanian dishes like sancocho and ceviche, this destination offers the perfect blend of adventure, culture, and luxury.

Panama isn’t just a place you visit—it’s a place you feel.

If you have policy-specific questions, please contact the travel insurance provider directly.

 
Note: You can cancel your vacation if you elect to do so. However, completing the cancellation form does not entitle you to a refund, as XTD Travel has a NO REFUND PAYMENT policy.
