About the map

Panama is located along the North Pacific Ocean in Central America. It borders just 2 other countries including Colombia to the south, and Costa Rica to the north.

Panama is home to the Panama Canal – a strategic shortcut for shipping to the Caribbean Sea. Otherwise, you’d have to go completely around from the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean.

Additionally, Panama is a transcontinental country because it’s at the boundary between both North America and South America. Panama City is the capital and largest city. But its other major cities are San Miguelito, Juan Diaz, and David.
