Product Description
In Panama, the new Traveler guide takes the visitor beyond the famous canal to the Darien, a biological Eden teeming with wildlife, to the homelands of indigenous cultures that predate the conquistadores to Bocas del Toro, synonymous with a funky lifestyle to the steamy cosmopolitan capital, Panama City.
Each guidebook in this series details how to get around and what not to miss... the most gracious hotels and recommended restaurants... the best spots for festivals, wildlife watching, water sports, and more—all presented with the reliable reporting and magnificent photos and maps that are the hallmarks of National Geographic.

 Panama Book, 2010-04-24
My order was delivered fast as it usually is from Amazon. That's probably my main concern as I can tend to be a little on the impatience side when waiting for something to come in the mail.
I also like the fact that I can use any credit card and don't have to go through paypal. I do not like paypal, so again Amazon meets my needs perfectly. AND outside of Walmart of course, they have some of the best prices.
National Geographic Scores Again!, 2010-05-23
This is a good book. Full of useful information, reasonably priced and up to date.
Panama is indeed an exciting and very multi-faceted country. This book details all national regions and is as good as self-directed books can get. Well worth the price.
The authors do get carried away with overly flowery verbiage at times, but I rather live with enthusiam than without it. And frankly having lived in Panama, I can appreciate why tourists and those who have just arrived can be overwhelmed by the variety and natural beauty of the country.
Hopefully after visting the isthmus, readers will be interested in studying Panama's unique and evolving history.
Dr. Mellander has written several books about Panama including the highly acclaimed, "The United States in Panamanian Politics."
National Geographic Traveler Panama, 2010-08-17
A good book to familiarize a visitor with Panama. Books of this quality and written in English are very difficult to find in Panama.
Good, but ould be better, 2009-12-18
This was a pretty good book. Popular with others, as I saw two more copies among fellow travelers. My biggest complaint is the effusive use of adjectives in describing things. More appropriate for the tourism dept. I just want simple facts. If it was pretty, say it was pretty, instead of saying the bejeweled expanse of powdery sand as white as gypsum dazzled the senses, and so forth.
Get this Book and the Map and you are set!!, 2009-03-03
