V!VA User‘s Description

The climate in Panama is hot and humid, but that shouldn't discourage you from exploring all of the activities Panama has to offer. The most famous attraction, of course, is the Panama Canal. The canal was built so that ships could pass from Atlantic to the Pacific and more then 750,000 vessels still use the route annually. Panama City also has a commemoration on January 9 called Martyrs' Day, a remembrance of the day in 1964 when fighting erupted between U.S. Military and Panamanians over the Panama Canal Zone.
