📣 Traveler notes
Panama, situated in southern Central America, is known for its diverse culture and reputation for water sports and eco-tourism.
- Panama maintains a diverse national holiday schedule.
- Travelers should prepare for variable weather, especially in mountainous areas between May and November.
- Show respect for diverse cultures. When referencing Indigenous groups, use 'Indigenous peoples' or specific names (e.g., Guna, Emberá). Always ask permission before photographing traditional dress. In urban areas, dress conservatively by opting for long pants and collared shirts, particularly when visiting public institutions. During the rainy season (May–November) in mountainous regions, dress in layers and wear appropriate footwear.
