Beauty in Diversity

Before traveling to Panama on a business visit in July 2014, I knew very little about the country beyond the fact that it is home to the Panama Canal.

I had never heard of anyone vacationing there, so I had no idea what to expect. Once there, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Panama is a nation whose blinding economic growth is led by tourism and banking. I travelled in the middle of July 2014 for the very first time to Panama and it was a bit humid. The only difference between summer and the rest of the year here is the amount of rainfall (the rainy season takes place between October and November), and the fact that you are not bothered by mosquitoes and other insects. I travelled to Panama again for the third time in July 2016.

Done with my business, I had nothing to do on the weekend, so I enquired the hotel staff about the possible wildlife sanctuaries or attractions that I could visit nearby. I came to know about the Soberania National Park which was not far away from the Panama City.
