Whales that reach the Gulf of Panama

8,000 kilometers of travel to reach a temperate climate found in the waters of Panama: that is the route that humpback whales take from Antarctica, according to the UNDP. In fact, the entity points out that the Gulf of Panama “is witness to the longest migration carried out by a mammal.” Two populations of these animals arrive there, those that come from Alaska and arrive in Panama between January and March and those from Antarctica that are seen between July and October. Here they breed “and bring their young into the world, offering a unique show for tourists, scientists and locals.”

The Panama canal

Considered one of the greatest engineering works in history, with more than a million visitors a year, the interoceanic route of the Panama Canal has been connecting the Pacific and the Atlantic since 1914. In addition, with the expansion it had in 2016 it became the may receiver of world maritime trade ships. About 14,500 boats pass through this place every year and the boats have been built taking into account the original dimensions of the canal: 330 meters long by 33.5 meters last night.

Coiba National Park

Here you will find the refuge of several endangered species – such as the harpy eagle – and a biodiversity that catapulted it as a natural laboratory for scientific research. The Coiba National Park, which protects the island of the same name and 38 other islands and islets, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005. With marine environments that combine characteristics of continental and oceanic influence, the park has unique landscapes that are accompanied by endemic species of mammals, birds and plants. As the Panama tourism page says, “Think about the number and size of the fish you have seen and double it, this will give you an idea of the promise of diving in Isla Coiba!”

Panama Viejo and historic district

Declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1997, the city of Panama Viejo is the first European settlement on the Pacific coast of America. The conqueror Pedrarias Dávila founded it in 1519 and, Unesco explains, “its checkerboard layout is an excellent example of the European conception of urban planning”. Its foundation was due to the Spanish discovery of the South Sea in 1913.
