Cerro Hoya National Park Panama
Panama Wildlife Conservation is a UK Charity dedicated to the conservation of Panama rich biodiversity. We traveled to Cerro Hoya National Park, off the coast of Veraguas province and made this short film to illustrate the hidden wonders of this park. We stayed for 3 days in a remote area called Restingue. We had help from a local resident (Alberto Melendez) who showed us the surrounding areas. It was during the raining season, very hot a humid and the road access was difficult. But the rewards were incredible, hope you enjoy this film

Coiba National Park - Panama
Coiba National Park is an archipelago of 38 islands located on the Pacific coast of Veraguas province in the Gulf of Chiriqui. It is a UNESCO World heritage site as of 2005 due to its 430,000 acres of rich and well preserved natural resources; actually, 80% of its resources are completely untouched. The main island in the park, and the reason why the park took its name, is Coiba Island. This island is the biggest in Panama (432km2) and is one of the country's main touristic destinations. Coiba Island was once a prison and it is believe that this is the reason why it is so well preserved, as its access was very restricted in the past. This island offers a beautiful virgin rainforest with a number of rivers draining to the ocean, multiple mammals' species like the howler monkeys and the white-tailed deer, 97 birds' species (out of 147 in the park)including the crested eagle, scarlet macaws and the Coiba spinetail and 4 turtle species: leatherback, hawksbill, olive and loggerhead.
Other islands in the park include: Granito de Oro, Jicaron, Brincaco, Uva, Rancheria, Canal de Afuera, Jicanita, Pajeros, Afuera, Montuosa and 28 smaller islets.

Un giro per Santa Fe a Panama - TuttoPanama.com
Ho scoperto Santa Fe di Panama per caso, ma me ne sono innamorato. purtroppo ci sono stato due soli giorni: ecco alcuni video montati della mia passeggiata verso la cascata del Bermejo.
Come si vede dal video la jungla intorno a SantaFe è (quasi) intatta e i paesaggi sono da togliere il fiato.
Non si trova cosi facilmente, quindi andate sul sito per leggere le indicazioni:
Arrivarci non è stato cosi facile devo dire la verità e ci siamo persi un paio di volte sulla strada.
uscite dal Paese seguendo la strada, passerete davanti alla polizia e poi siete in campagna (nel video dove parlo del profumo di orchidee), dopo una discesa c'è il ponte di Bulava (quello che si vede nel video). seguite la strada per un bel po.
Ci saranno sali e scendi e alcune parti saranno quasi senza riparo, portatevi un cappellino. La strada ha delle case sparse su entrambi i lati, farete un curvone in discesa che vi stronca di camminare :-) ... ma proseguite che siete a buon punto.
a un certo punto sulla sinistra troverete una chiesa: ci siete quasi proseguite ancora ( la strada ormai non sarà più asfaltata), fino all'indicazione Bermejo. da qui è circa 30-40 minuti di camminata, ma in mezzo al bosco quindi molto più piacevole.
salite e a un certo punto sulla sinistra c'è quello che sembra un rigagnolo di un fiume ma è ben scavato nella creta (vedi foto), scendete con fiducia... a questo punto il paesaggio è davvero bello, con fiumiciattoli distese e il rumore del fiume ( quello che ho registrato nel video) seguite la strada e.... Wooooooow

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Azuero Peninsula (Spanish: Península de Azuero) is a large peninsula in southern Panama. It is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean in the south; the Pacific and Gulf of Montijo to the west, and by the Gulf of Panama in the east. The peninsula is effectively divided into two regions; the Western Azuero and the Eastern Azuero, as no serviceable roads join the two peninsula regions past the Pan-American Highway.
The Eastern Azuero Peninsula is known for baseball and is also a center of activity during the annual 'carnaval' (carnival), with Las Tablas being the hub. Pedasi is a small fishing town with sport fishing.
The Western Azuero Peninsula is known for its cattle ranching, farming, fishing, sunsets and beaches.
Tourism has begun to increase in the area both for the aforementioned sport fishing, surfing and for the local charm of cities like Chitré, Las Tablas and Pedasi. Due to a rise in tourism, real estate development has begun. The area enjoys some of the best weather in Panama being in a region known as the Arco Seco (dry arc).
