Panama

Panama has served as a crossroads between North and South America since pre-Columbian times. The Panama Canal, opened in 1914, made the narrow isthmus one of the world’s most consequential maritime routes, linking the Caribbean Sea with the Pacific Ocean. Panama City combines a modern skyline with Casco Viejo, its historic district of colonial-era streets and churches. Beyond the capital, rainforest covers much of the country, while the Darién region forms part of the land connection toward Colombia. Indigenous Guna communities are renowned for their hand-stitched mola textiles. Browse other webcams across Panama to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
