My Trip To Panama

Our trip started and ended in Cuba, but I'll tell you about it. The most vivid memories I have got about Panama. First, they are a little later. In theory, this cushion the shock, but the situation was the opposite. The airport has found that many other companies. Everything was immediately rushed to help, please call our partners. While our people are meeting in congestion, but close. We have so many assistants, and do nothing, in itself is not felt for a while.

The first we stayed at was recently built. The official opening ceremony took place two weeks before our arrival. The so-called Playa Bonita. Hotel - 5 *. This is the best resort hotel at the moment moment in Panama. Located very near to the city of Panama, so there is always an opportunity for the city, the program can arrange tours, living close to the sea. Hotel was just super! All can provide Resort 5 *, there is. The only possible, it is the case - this is the same beach - a small gray sand and tide. However, - this is the Pacific Rim. Most of the beach, that's all.

The next day we went to the Decameron Hotel Panama City is located 90 km. Beach are the first hotel of the same. The hotel itself - just across the city, which covers a vast territory. For those who like entertainment and noisy society, you would like. Hotels more moderate, but the lowest price.

From there we visited the Valle de Anton. This is a small valley, located in the crater of an extinct volcano. The latest outbreak of more than 35 years but has become extinct, can not be named because of the hot springs and sometimes from the bottom of a pair of gas rose to the surface dirt, which is used for medical purposes and cosmetics.

An extension of the small valley towns. Having a house such as toys, all the ease and comfort. It can help you lose sense of time, you feel wonderful policy of appeasement and peace. I would stay there. There, local residents and create a small zoo. The animals can eat. Unfortunately, we know nothing, otherwise the products will be stored! Nobody knows or can feed, for example, the spider monkey's hand.

He spent the next night at the Hotel Playa Blanca. Superior class hotel at the Decameron, and a bit of calm. It is suitable for family holidays.

Then they took us to the island of Contadora. This is also in the Pacific, but the beach - more than whites. There are four hotels. We stayed at the Hotel Contadora. Small islands, I think for 1-1.5 hours, you can overlook the whole. There are a lot of peacocks, monkeys. I myself went through the morning of the pool and the spider monkey. They are not afraid, have become accustomed to tourists. Local and even personal. They have contributed to peace.

Then he showed us the hotel Gamboa, located on the shore of an artificial lake, its waters feed the Panama Canal locks. Unfortunately, in this day is up to the observation deck of filling of the crane, and are not available. However, we boat to the island of monkeys. Some of the roads through the channel, where you can see the ship has been through the first portal - Miraflores. About nature - virgin tropical forests - just a real fairytale. The hotel itself - it is really incredible! Everything is so beautiful, well thought out!

A very interesting tour Embera Indian tribe. However, due to technical reasons, is an abbreviated version. Some of the women are not well suited for shoes. Guide said, the pedestrian walkway of the waterfall in the shoes and the heel is impossible, and we live in an Indian village. But this is more than enough! Despite the relatively civilized tribes, and even a school, but the overall taste is very impressive. Some questioned their lives, he advised them to go home at night and settlement - is a pillar, but it is not. Whenever tourists spend the night. I find it hard to fool. Dinner, cooked fire. Casa Hogar playlists directly on the wood floor overhead. Amazingly, everything is good, that is, on the floor on fire.

We have also studied the work of the Miraflores Locks - this is the first lock in the Pacific Ocean. It is very interesting, but I realized that not require cruise ships through the canal. Some tourists are changing the days begin to navigate, but I think to see the work of the lock, no need to swim channel. The only exception is through the locks - all - is a wide river, with banks covered with lush tropical vegetation. And because the prevalence of vegetation in Panama, and then swim across the channel, in my opinion, not necessarily.

In Panama, leaving a good impression. This is how people - very quiet. Clearly satisfied with their lives, they are good. Everything, everyone in a clean perfect. It seems that every house is just clean, paint, fresh paint. Streets shampoo wash, cut grass and flower decoration. In May, in their minds to start - the winter rainy season. True rain came early in the morning, afternoon or evening. Last week, to prepare for a rainy day, we have no time to be there! As would be happy if we are in the summer due to its winter!

Then, he traveled to Colombia in Cartagena. Here, we live in the same hotel all the time. Most hotels in the coastal region in the new city. Beach facilities, clean and well maintained, but the gray sand. The hotels are not part of the city, not have their own beaches. All the beach cities. The only hotel in Las Vegas the Americas has its own beach, but hotels are far from civilization.

I personally like Charleston and the Hotel Santa Clara, crazy, located behind the old city wall. They converted colonial-style buildings. Santa Clara was a monastery. That, of course, these 5-star hotels, but not everyone can afford it, but they are so beautiful! In all feel the charm of old buildings. On the one hand, plus hotel is surrounded by Gabriel García Márquez. Overall, in the ancient city walls behind the fundamental charming. Almost every family - is a museum.

But the rest of the corruption of the local vendors. In general, these brutes, which is constantly moving in front of tourists accounts and even some crafts. A woman is ready to braid or a massage. Everything is good in moderation, but no sense of proportion - they were tired of the day. I personally very tired. Otherwise, everything is good, but compared with Panama, Colombia is significantly reduced. If we go to Panama and Colombia, then you should start with Colombia. In this case, the elimination of all negative during the stay in Panama.

However, Cuba - here is more complex. All of these can read about Cuba in the Internet, guide, and so on - the absolute truth. Natural charm, beautiful beaches, beautiful architecture, but ... a painting of unique homes in bad condition. On the streets dirty, old, gray. Unfortunately, this loss of beauty. In Varadero beautiful, but still has its own problems - in the hotel services are lame, and feet.

They decide who goes to Cuba should be clear: there he went, he would like to see, and then not be disappointed. I really hope that this country is so, no matter what. Personally, like Cuba, despite weeks of feeling anxious.

In the end, again please do not criticize. In this retreat, I really country advertising, but not because they do their sales, but because he was impressed by how well that thing. After all, Panama is unknown in our country. Until 2000, tourists do not go there. This is fascinating. I really hope I can share all the views of those who visit this country!
