Map of Panama

Panama

Panama's geography has endowed the country with the ability to connect the world by both land and sea. By land, Panama's 75,517 km2 connect South America with Central America through its borders to the east with Colombia and to the west with Costa Rica. By sea, the country connects the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south thanks to the 82 kilometers of one of the most important engineering works in the world, the Panama Canal, thus accelerating and facilitating maritime communication and trade.

More on this country

The indigenous comarcas have their origin in the Guna Revolution of 1925, caused by the incursions of outsiders in search of natural resources and the abuses of the police authorities against the Guna -also called Kuna- people.
