ORIGIN OF THE NAME PANAMA

"PANAMA" IS SAID TO BE A NATIVE INDIAN NAME THAT WAS USED AS A NAME FOR

THE WHOLE REGION. IT MEANS ABUNDANCE, BUT ABUNDANCE OF WHAT? WELL

MOST PEOPLE SAY OF TREES (THERE´S EVEN A TREE NAME PANAMA WITH MEDICAL

ATRIBUTES), ALSO OF BUTTERFLIES, FISH, BIRDS,, PLANTS, ETC. WELL ONE THING

THAT IS CORRECT IS THAT PANAMA HAS A LOT OF OR IS RICH IN FLORA & FAUNA.

THIS IS THE ONLY COUNTRY WHERE THE SUNRISES IN THE SOUTH (PACIFIC OCEAN)

AND WE HAVE THE SUNSET IN THE NORTH (CARIBBEAN SEA) DO ITS´GEOGRAFICAL

POSITION.

A BUNCH OF CITIES ALL TOGETHER.... PROBABLY YOU WILL HEAR THIS IN OTHER


WORDS, LIKE 3 CITIES IN ONE......THIS IS PANAMA. YOU WILL FIND THE RUINS


CALLED OLD PANAMA (PANAMA LA VIEJA), THE FIRST CITY BUILT ON THE ISTHMUS


OF PANAMA BY THE SPANIARDS IN 1513, YOU CAN STILL SEE THE OLD RUINS


STANDING AND BEING REMODEL DUE TO TIME, THE CITY WAS ATTACKED BY THE


PIRATE HENRY MORGAN AND THEN DESTROYED.


THE SECOND CITY BUILT WAS COLONIAL PANAMA (CASCO ANTIGUO), IN 1673 THE

CITY WAS MOVED FUTHER WEST, SOME OF THE CHURCHES IN THE OLD CITY WERE

, ACTUALLY STONE BY STONE. THE CITY WAS PROTECTED BY A WALL IN CASE OF

OTHER ATTACK. TODAY IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE WITH A LOT OF SPANISH-FRENCH

INFLUENCE, RESTAURANTS, CAFE`S, HOTELS AND PLAZAS HAVE BEING REMODEL

FOR THE TOURIST TO ENJOY. THE PRESODENT PALACE IS LOCATED HERE SINCE THE

BEGINNING OF LAST CENTURY.

THE NEW CITY IS ONE OF THE MOST MODERN CITIES IN WHOLE CENTRAL AMERICA,

WITH A VARIETY OF HIGH RISES AND COMPLEX HIGHWAYS. YOU WILL ENJOY ALL

THREE COMBINATIONS AND BELIEVE ME YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THEM.
