Crossroads of the world. Natural bridge of the Americas. Even before the construction of its famous canal, Panama's strategic location at the wasp waist of the Americas and at the meeting place of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans made it one of the great crossroads of the world. This has created one of the most cosmopolitan, open-minded and outward-looking societies in Central America. At the same time, Panama is also home to some of the most unassimilated and culturally fascinating indigenous communities in the region. Although not as famous as itīs neighbour Costa Rica, Panama can easily compete with it for unspoiled nature, beaches and rain forests.
Cosmopolitan Panama City has become a magnet for international profit and non profit organisations because of accesibility, stability and living standards.
