CULTURE

Through time, the Panamanian identity was forged in a great encounter of races and cultures; Spaniards, Amerindians, Africans, Afro-Antilleans and people from many countries found in the Isthmus the best harmony, peace and tolerance that will swell life.

The Hispanic heritage beats especially in the regions of Azuero and Coclé where tradition and culture is highly valued. The African legacy dazzles in the showy Congo dances, a tradition settled in the province of Colon, while the native peoples keep alive their roots.
