panama people country of panama central america tourism travel The Isthmus of Panama has been a source of several different forms for quite some time, separating both the world's two largest oceans, as well as North and South America. The Panamanian is: friendly, fun, tolerant, proud and eager to please, with a host of professional services directed towards the visitor. It was this discovery that would not only serve as the foundation, but continue to shape the identity of the Panama people. The Spanish colony permitted the integration of the indigenous tribes, black African slaves and white Europeans, creating a very unique, special blend of cultures and physical characteristics. These distinct features are well represented throughout Panama, most notably among the creollos and mulattos. In fact, there is a commonly repeated expression, which when translated into English, reads "the best thing that the Spanish left on our soil were the mulattas". Their beauty and sensuality that results from the delicate union between blacks and whites is very noticeable. The varied ethnic cultures and physical characteristics also generated folklore, combining African drums with European lyrics and guitar playing. Along the Caribbean coast one would encounter dances, accompanied by decorative costumes, paying homage their loved ones, or otherwise narrating the lurid conditions of the slaves. En Portobelo, the principal port of the Caribbean, one could witness the legendary fairs that grouped the commercial floats of the "Rio de la Plata", accompanied by European floats of products shuttled by mule. These events helped reaffirm the culture, hospitality and service oriented demeanor that is so typically Panamanian.

CULTURE Select the information you want to see. Culture Tourism Culture History: In the early 16th century over 60 Indian tribes lived in Panama. These Indians came from the Maya of Guatemala and Mexico and from the Chibchas of Colombia. The isthmus of Panama was discovered in 1501 by Rodrigo de Bastidas, one of the captains that accompanied Columbus on his second voyage to America. In 1513 Vasco Nunez de Balboa sighted the Pacific Ocean from Darien's mountain in Panama. In 1519 Panama City was founded by Pedrarias Davila, the Governor of Golden Castile, appointed by the King of Spain. Panama was the springboard for the Spanish exploration and expansion in Central and South America along the Pacific coastline. The conquests of Peru and Chile by Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro were organized in Panama. Hernando de Soto, the discoverer of the Mississippi River, started his journey from Panama, too. The Davila brothers, Gil and Gonzalo, also organized their expeditions into Central America from the Isthmus of Panama. During the independence wars of the Spanish colonies, Panama voluntarily joined Colombia until 1903, when it gained independence and became the present Republic of Panama. On November 18, 1903 the Hay-Buneau-Varilla Treaty was signed, whereby the United States was granted the right to continue the construction of a canal through the isthmus. The interoceanic waterway, which cuts through the isthmus of Panama, is 82 Kilometers(51 miles) long. On average it take a vessel eight hours to travel from one ocean to the other, passing through three sets of locks.
