Panama

Now representing Panama — a squad of — destinations, each hand-crafted in watercolor.

A narrow country with an outsized sense of drama, where the Pacific and Caribbean coasts carry entirely different moods — one golden and calm, the other wild and reef-fringed — and the canal's great locks move through a landscape of tropical green so dense it seems to pulse. Colonial Casco Viejo crumbles and blooms simultaneously, its painted facades wearing decades of salt air with grace.
