Location Overview |
||||
| It is at the very heart of the Americas that we find the Isthmus of Panama, the narrowest isthmus in Central America, and the Caribbean countries to carry out an exchange of their cultural and commercial activities. It was in 1914, when the 20th Century was beginning, that US citizens finally built a transoceanic Canal through the Isthmus of Panama, adding two terminal ports, Balboa and Cristobal, located in the Pacific and Atlantic coasts respectively, to its route. Then, with the scientific advances of the 20th Century and the start of international flights, airport services were improved throughout the country with the building of a totally new international air terminal with all the comforts and up-to-date improvements in passengers service and cargo handling. There are eight kilometers of land that separate the deep waters of the Caribbean Sea to the North of the Pacific Ocean to the South. This condition was more than enough for the 16th Century Spaniards to declare that the Istmus was "the key to the Americas." Panama is much more than just a canal. You find, whatever you desire, for it is a cosmopolitan, country, full of pleasant surprises. Visitors to Panama have been able to discover things that defy the most outlandish imagination.
Today, Panama finds itself at the threshold of a new era, with its citizens eager to work for and invest in their country. Panama is moving to the forefront, which is evidenced by the opening of new businesses every day that work in time with truly progressive economy. |
