Here are our recommendations in order of appearance:
0:06 Biomuseo, Panamá
The Biomuseo is, for a museum, a pretty interesting place. It focusses on the biodiversity in the country and also on the impact of the channel on it. But it is funded by companies like Shell – so don’t expect it to be very self-critical. Anyway: The architecture is quite interesting.
0:11 Rio Gatun
The Gatun River feeds the artificial lake that makes the Panama Canal possible. Its arms are still very rural and easily to be explored by boat. Several companies, like Gamboa Tours, offer small cruises that they like to call „expeditions“. Well... it’s not exactly livingstoneish but worth a try.
0:13 Embréa Village
The Embréa Community is the native people of Panama. Their villages are situated in the jungle. In contrast to similar countries the Embréa are well respected in Panama and encouraged to promote their heritage. A visit might be seen as a tourist trap but it isn’t. Most of the villages do not allow tourists at all and those who do only invite very few a day. Sometimes you can even spend the night there. The good thing about it: You get the full experience. The drawback: It is extremely expensive! Starting at 250 Dollars per person, but getting cheaper the bigger the group is.
0:19 Panama-Stadt
Panama City recently became pretty infamous because of the Panama Papers and for being the tax paradise it is. And yes, you do see how much money there is by just looking at the stunning skyline.
0:26 James Bond Location
In the movie Spectre agent James Bond into the Andean Grand Hotel. The hotel isn’t available in real life – but instead you can visit the National Institute of Culture in Panama City which was transformed into the hotel for the film.
0:28 Panama City Waterfront
The good thing about Panama City: Even though it's hot and pretty much 100% air-conditioned, there is still life on the streets. The waterfront at Bella Vista is a meeting point for a lot of locals that love to do outdoor sports.
0:36 Bajareque Coffee House
This ist the home of the best coffee in Panama. And the geisha-coffee they make is massively expensive, sometimes costing more than 1000 Dollars per kilo.
0:39 Restaurante Diablicos - Casco Viejo
Yes, you can argue about the panamese cuisine. It’s not what you’d call creative. Basically they're deepfrying everything they get into their hands. The other thing that you might love or hate is the excessive use of garlic.
0:43 Bocas del Toro
A visit to Panama is not complete without a visit to the caribbean coast. Bocas is an archipelago and pretty much everyone’s idea of a caribbean paradise.
Air Panama Viajes flies there for est. 100 Dollars from Panama City. The other option: The bus that takes you more than 11 hours.
0:47 Boat hire in Bocas
There are water taxis - but the best way to get around is a private boat. I met a local who was willing to take me around but there is an infinite number of tour operators that take you to all the spots you want to see: Red Frog Beach, Dolphin Bay, Starfish Beach and Cayo Zapatilla. Prices start, depending on the season, at around 35 Dollars.
0:49 Starfish Beach, Isla Colon, Panama
...is called Starfish Beach for a reason. There are uncountable numbers of big starfish in the water. Furthermore this place has a lot of beach bars and is accessible by land and water.
0:52 Cosmic Crab Cafe
This place is one of the reasons you came to Bocas: It is a lovely restaurant and hotel on the water.
0:54 Selina Hostels - Bocas del Toro
There are a lot of hostels on the main island of Bocas del Toro, but the most famous is definitely the Selina Hostel. It offers a very relaxed atmosphere and danceable tunes at night. But the best thing is the little marina right next to the bar that invites for a swim at night.
0:55 Canal de Panamá - La Ruta
This is where all your christmas presents come through - sort of. The impact on the world's economy of the Panama Canal is huge. Recently they opened bigger locks on both sides for bigger ships to come through. But the government is already planning to expand it even further. The Miraflores Locks, Panama Canal are just a short drive away from Panama City and have a very interesting viewing platform from where you can watch the ships coming through.
1:00 Puente de las Américas
Locals are very proud of it since it is one of their major landmarks. When you get the right timing, you can pass the bridge while a ship is approaching the Miraflores Locks right behind it.

Panama River Front Property and Caribbean Sea
Panama River Front Property - 32.86 Acres/130,000 m2
The property is located in Pina Colon, Panama. AARP has identified Panama as one of the best places to retire. According to AARP, Panama is a smart choice for retirees who want it all—in a country that really wants them. Not only does it feature attractive retirement destinations—sleek capital city, hot beach towns, cool mountain villages—but it also offers an unbeatable package of retiree benefits and discounts (and a currency tied to the U.S. dollar). Due to the location of the property, this is not only a great place for retirees that want to finally obtain absolute privacy in their own private jungle, but it is also a great opportunity for the anglers, sailors entrepreneurs and/or environmentalists. Angler/Sailor: The property has a 320m river front and the river is navigable year round. Build your own private dock for easy access and a short trip to one of the best fishing areas in Panama, the Caribbean Sea. The property is also very close to Gatun Lake. The lake is 85 feet above sea level and was created by dams built during the construction of the Panama Canal. Peacock Bass, Tilapia, Tarpon and Snook are found in great abundance. Fishing here is world class. Entrepreneur: Great opportunity to build a fishing lodge or secluded hotel. Take your guests fishing all year round in the Caribbean Sea, local rivers, or even the Pacific Ocean which is only 50 miles away. Entertain and help your guests relax in a secluded hotel surrounded by the sights and sounds of your private forest. Environmentalist: The property is 80% virgin forest with native trees that allow the observation of native animals of the forest, including birds, butterflies, frogs, monkeys, armadillos, iguanas, etc. Due to the proximity of the oceans, you may also snorkel and dive at both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in one day. The property is only 90 minutes from Panama City Airport. Well build, well maintained roads, makes the commute from the airport to the property a breeze.
Price: 1,040,000.00 Negotiable, Subdivision Possible. We offer financing. we provide the property for tourism Project. heliogalvan@hotmail.com

Swimming In The River in South Panama
I went swimming with friends. The water was cold, clean, crystalline, fresh from the hills and mountains that surround the area.
I'd been locked in my office for 3 days days and nights trying to catch up on a website design (very unhealthy, I know. Sadly, that's what we computer geeks get like...) Finally, my new neighbours Chirs and Gloria persuaded me to go to the river with them and some of the members of their family. Actually they all ganged up on me, shouting 'You HAVE to come with us!!!' until in the end I couldn't say no.
Wow, what a great time I had! Now THIS is why I came to Panama!
I'm not sure of where I was - we went in Gloria's uncle's rattly old truck along some off-the-beaten-path journey - but it was one of the rivers that are all around David, Panama's second biggest city, in the state of Chiriqui.
Monkey Island Tour in Panama
The Monkey Island Panama Tour must be on the top of your to-do list when you Visit Panama. Come with me and enjoy a day surrounding by nature, sailing the Panama Canal and discovering the Tropical Rain-Forest.
Rio de Janeiro - In A Brazil Minute (Week 147)
- MovingPostcard.com - Visiting Rio de Janeiro at the beginning and again in the middle of my 3-week Brazil trip was amazing. For good reason, the 6th largest city in the Americas is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site named Rio de Janeiro: Carioca Landscapes between the Mountain and the Sea.
If I had to sum up Rio in one phrase, it would be: city of contrasts. Rio offers amazing vistas of mountains, bays, beaches, the Atlantic Ocean, contrasting architecture, a surprisingly different style of street art and graffiti, delicious (though greasy) seafood, tasty drinks, friendly strangers, the threat of theft, music, costumes, colors, hot temperatures, a lot more clouds and rain than expected and the lively Brazilians that will dance in the rainy streets anyway.
This was one of the most difficult videos to edit. How do you squeeze about a week of Rio into one minute? Pretty impossible. I tried. I will certainly publish a few more videos and an extended version soon (on YouTube they'll be on my LuciWest channel).
In this video you'll see: Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ The Redeemer, Favelas, street art in Santa Teresa and Cosme Velho, an inner city chicken, the church at Largo do Machado (where you can get amazing Lebanese food in the small mall), Botafogo, the creatures and beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, a passion-fruit Caipiroska and pre-Carnival revelers outside our home-away-from-home the Devassa Brewery in Ipanema.
Yes, I would whole-heatedly recommend a visit to Rio... and they sell umbrellas and bikinis everywhere...
FYI The music in the video is NOT the original public domain music this video was edited to and which is listed above. A claim by YouTube/SME forced me to replace it with something from the YT library, even though I had found the original music listed as public domain. The correct version:
