1. De oceanen:<\/strong>\u00a0Panama is de enige plek ter wereld waar je de zon kunt zien opkomen boven de Stille Oceaan en ondergaan boven de Atlantische Oceaan. Je kunt ook op dezelfde dag zwemmen in de Stille Oceaan en de Atlantische Oceaan.<\/p>\n

2. Panama-stad:<\/strong>\u00a0Panama City is de enige hoofdstad ter wereld met regenwoud binnen haar stadsgrenzen. Er wonen ongeveer 1,2 miljoen mensen in Panama City.<\/p>\n

3. Vasco N\u00fa\u00f1ez de Balboa:<\/strong>\u00a0De eerste Europeaan die Panama overstak (waar nu het Panamakanaal is) was de Spanjaard Vasco N\u00fa\u00f1ez de Balboa in 1513. 401 jaar later werd het Panamakanaal gebouwd<\/p>\n

4. Gratis verzekering:<\/strong>\u00a0De Panamese overheid biedt 30 dagen gratis ziektekosten- en ongevallenverzekering aan alle bezoekers<\/p>\n

5. Gepensioneerden:<\/strong>\u00a0Veel gepensioneerden vestigen zich in Panama en het land wordt door velen beschouwd als een geweldige plek om met pensioen te gaan.<\/p>\n

Feit: Panama City is de enige hoofdstad ter wereld met regenwoud binnen de stadsgrenzen.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Amerikaanse dollars:<\/strong>\u00a0Panama was het eerste Latijns-Amerikaanse land dat de Amerikaanse dollar als eigen munteenheid invoerde (gelijk aan de bestaande Balboa).<\/p>\n

7. Panamaspoorweg:<\/strong>\u00a0De Panama Railway is een van de oudste spoorwegen ter wereld die nog steeds in gebruik is. Hij werd geopend in 1855 en was vooral belangrijk tijdens de goudkoorts van 1948 en de bouw van het Panamakanaal in 1914.<\/p>\n

8. Panama:<\/strong>\u00a0De wereldberoemde en zeer kenmerkende Panamahoed komt niet uit Panama, maar uit Ecuador.<\/p>\n

9. Sport:<\/strong>\u00a0Honkbal, boksen en voetbal zijn de meest beoefende sporten in Panama.<\/p>\n

10. Geschiedenis:<\/strong>\u00a0Het Spaanse koningshuis beheerste Panama vanaf de 16e eeuw tot 1821, toen het samen met Colombia, Ecuador en Venezuela de Republiek Gran Colombia vormde. Toen deze in 1830 werd ontbonden, bleef Panama deel uitmaken van Colombia. In 1903 scheidde Panama zich af van Colombia met de steun van de Verenigde Staten en kort daarna tekenden de twee landen een overeenkomst dat de Verenigde Staten het Panamakanaal mochten bouwen en ook soevereiniteit hadden over het land rond elk uiteinde van het kanaal (de Panamakanaalzone).<\/p>\n
