The best way to experience Panama's natural beauty and wildlife is to explore its national parks and reserves. Start with Soberania National Park, home to a variety of bird species, including toucans and parrots, as well as howler monkeys and sloths. If you're up for an adventure, visit the lush rainforest of Darien National Park, where you can see jaguars and tapirs. The Gulf of Chiriqui National Marine Park offers some of the best snorkeling and diving in the country, while Isla Coiba National Park is ideal for hiking, bird watching and sea turtle nesting.
