Jour de l'insurrection de Los Santos

📣 Conseils aux voyageurs

Panama is located in Central America. The country's name derives from indigenous languages and means 'abundance of fish.' It is a popular destination for water sports and eco-tourism.

• Check the 'Month' column in the holiday listing for the specific holiday schedule.
• When speaking with Panamanians, be aware that rapid communication is often due to the fast-paced environment, not impatience. Respect for Indigenous cultures is essential; always ask permission before photographing individuals in traditional dress. Use 'Indigenous peoples' or specific group names (e.g., Guna, Emberá), avoiding the term 'Indian.' For urban or formal settings, men should wear long pants and collared shirts. In mountainous areas like Boquete, dress in layers and bring waterproof footwear, especially during the rainy season.
