Nationaler Trauertag

📣 Hinweise für Reisende

Panama is located at the southern end of Central America, known as the "Crossroads of the Americas." Its name translates to "abundance of fish," indicating its draw for water sports and eco-tourism.

• No schedule details provided for this holiday.
• When communicating with Panamanians, remember that direct speech, particularly in the capital, can be fast-paced and may seem abrupt but is not meant as rudeness. Always obtain permission before photographing people, especially those in traditional attire. Use the term "Indigenous peoples" when discussing these cultures. While shorts are acceptable on beaches, conservative dress is recommended for urban areas, banks, and public institutions (avoiding shorts that expose the knees). Be prepared to dress in layers and bring waterproof gear, especially during the rainy season (May to November).
