With around 29% of its territory protected across fifteen nature reserves, Panama is rapidly becoming a must-see destination for birdwatchers and nature lovers worldwide. As a transition zone between Central and South America, Panama is Central America’s most “tropical” destination. This lush paradise is home to a rich, colorful, diverse, and photogenic birdlife. Approximately 930 species of birds have been recorded here—more than in North America and Europe combined. The local flora is breathtaking, with over 10,000 species already identified in the country. The fauna is equally impressive, offering opportunities to observe tamarin monkeys, sloths, and rare mammals such as the ocelot and tapir. With its short distances, excellent infrastructure, and exceptional wildlife, this Central American destination has quickly established itself as a leading birding location. The country’s small size and easy access to sites of interest make it particularly popular for short tours.
