In the typical laidback fashion of Central America, Panama City is a relaxing city full of broken English and old colonial buildings. One of the best places to relax is found down in Miraflores locks, where you can grab a quality selection of food at most restaurants and watch some of the gigantic boats pass through the Panama Canal. We managed to find a place that served a whopping 12 courses! There are two separate areas of the city that has historical significance. The Casco Viejo is the colonial part of the city and many of the buildings are in wonderful condition. Here you can also find a Museum dedicated to the canal as well as some gorgeous cathedrals and government buildings. Panama Viejo is the ancient city remains from before the colonial times and has a museum explanation some of the local history. A novel part that this city has over others is the Parque Natural Metropolitano which is a beautiful rainforest park that has several trails that you can either hike or cycle around. There is also several veiwing points that have been placed above the forest canopy and give a sublime view of the city.
