Punta Culebra

Also known as the Smithsonian Marine Exhibition Center, Punta Culebra explores Panama's geological, military and natural history. In addition to military relics, the center offers tropical forest hikes and a pool that's home to turtles and sharks. It's a bit out of the way, but definitely worth a visit. Located near the Calzada de Amador, about 15 minutes drive from Panama City center, a taxi should cost $2-4. Visiting hours fluctuate based on the time of year, check their website for details.

Panama City, Panama
