Panama Canal Heritage Corridor

Most people associate Panama with the canal and Noriega. However, it has more biodiversity, historical heritage, large and unqiue indigenous populations than Costa Rica where most tourists go. Moreoever, Panama is much more safer than Costa Rica and you can even drink the water safely out of the tap! I predict the remnants of Panama's old Spanish colonial mule treasure trails through the jungle will become prime ecotourism destinations in the future. Isthmian Crossings is an excellent compendium of first person accounts of people who have crossed the Istmus by foot, mule back, and steam engine trains over the past 450 years. A lot of work went into collecting these accounts and reading them will bring to life the memories of so many who met the physical and cultural challenges of crossing the Isthmus.
