Read this very cool article about Panama this morning, it opens with,

"Watch out world, 'cuz here comes Panama--that skinny little land-bridge of a country that's famous for straw hats, yellow-fever infestations and American meddling."

It also closes with a bit of advice you've read about right here on LearnAboutPanama -

"Another quick tip: get out of Panama City. Other than the old city (a romantic, yet tumbledown cluster of Havana-like architecture), the city is trying its darndest to be the next Las Vegas. Better to trade the traffic jams for the nice villages and tropical landscape of the countryside."

"...this is a beautiful, safe and fun place to travel...
... amazing wildlife but wonderfully devoid of annoying tourists...
...relatively good roads, a surprising collection of fine hotels, and a greater degree of rule of law than your average Central American country....
