Map
This is not a map to different towns or beaches in Panama. It’s a map to inspiration. It will guide you to an orchid sitting in just the right amount of light. It’ll take you to a tree frog resting at the perfect angle. Or a modern skyscraper that’s situated in the foreground of colonial architecture, dramatizing the contrasts of old and new in Panama City. This map will take to all of the places in Panama where inspiration exists. It’s up to you to find and capture it.
Beyond connecting oceans with its passage canal, Panama connects aspiring photographers or photojournalists with tranquil beaches and lush rainforests in Bocas del Toro. It reveals a World Heritage Site on sun-drenched Isla Coiba. Plus, it marries a vibrant 21st century capital in Panama City with indigenous communities on the Caribbean coast.
“…nothing is like traveling to a new place and becoming best friends with people that I never knew existed.” — Lauren Meding, Hinsdale, IL

What are my next steps?
Panama
Mountains and beaches frame untold natural riches, a beehive metropolis and Central American charm.
Indigenous tribes meet international bankers in a country that sits at the divide between two oceans and continents. Capture its contrasts and beauty.
Bocas del Toro
Rainforest, pristine snorkeling reefs, blue-green waters and a tropical Caribbean atmosphere. Yes, this is Panama.
Boquete
In the highlands near the Barú volcano, Lush Boquete is the opposite of Panama City. Green mountains, hiking, climbing, and white-water rivers are a great place to take on a photo challenge.
Isla de Coiba
One of 38 islands in a chain that makes up Coiba National Park.Expand your portfolio as well as your appreciation of nature.
Panama City
Panama’s heartbeat is thumping in this capital of everything. Finance, fine dining, museums, architecture, music, and of course… The canal. Cross into adventure.
Santa Catalina
World-class surfing on the Chiriqui Gulf. Dive in and wait for your wave. Or better yet, grab your camera and wait for your shot.
Santa Fe
Look out over all that you have accomplished. This tiny town in the mountains and clouds of the Veraguas province is designed for reflection. The “real” Panama. Rural, quiet and welcoming.
