With the colonial days immortalized in its architecture, Panama City is a modern commercial center situated along the Pacific coast in the southernmost region of Central America. At the edge of the city lies the great Panama Canal, the 16th-century ruins of Panama Viejo and the rain forest of the Soberania National Park. Panama also offers great opportunities for snorkeling and deep-sea fishing.
