24: Panama City, Casco Viejo, and San Blas (Sailing Adventure in Panama)

Have you ever wanted to discover the islands that look like the
ones in the Corona commercials where there is a single palm tree
with a small hut? Well, you can find about 360 of them just off
the coast of Panama in the San Blas Islands. We had a wonderful
time on a private yacht exploring the islands after spending time
in Panama City and Casco Viejo. Panama is a beautiful place to
visit to give yourself an international experience while not
venturing too far away from the States. We highly recommend this
destination for those that are looking to soak up the sun, enjoy
an enjoyable cultural experience, and visit the most unique
island colony in the world.
