Container ships squeezing through locks built over a century ago, a rainforest with howler monkeys twenty minutes from the skyscrapers, and islands offshore where the plan is simply not to have one.

The best time to visit Panama City & the canal is Dec–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (88°F).
