Nature of Panama - national parks and reserves for active recreation
Panama, a relatively small country, is home to a number of animals. Sloths, parrots, anteater, quetzal live here, while humpback whales, leatherback sea turtles, whale sharks swim in the waters – this is only a small part of the beautiful creatures that inhabit this country of crystal clear water and thick jungles. The Government of Panama is making efforts to preserve the nature of the country and its biodiversity. Subsequently, there are so many parks, reserves and natural areas under the protection of the state. All animal lovers should visit the capital’s “Monkey Island”, where visitors are transported by boat along the artificial Gatun Lake. Monkey species such as white-faced Capuchin, Geoffroy’s tamarin, Colombian howlers, and Panamanian gray-bellied night monkey, live on the island.

“Isla Perro” or “Dog Island”, included in the group of islands of the archipelago of San Blas, is a great place for scuba diving, because the waters here are clean. Particularly exciting will be the study of the old military ship that sunk here. The tranquility of the “Dog Island” is invariably transmitted to its guests. In addition, the island is known for its bioluminescence, which can be observed during a moonlit night. The water begins to sparkle beautifully with tiny squids and planktons that emit light, and it is simply impossible to pull your eyes away from this magical dance of underwater lights. In Panama City, it is worth visiting the “Punta Culebra Nature Marine Center”. Here you can explore sharks, rays, seabirds and other inhabitants of the sea and its surroundings, and each visitor can admire these wonderful creatures.
