Abstract:
Need information while you're on the go? We hear you. If you're visiting for just a week or two, perhaps you don't need the in-depth history section or geographical details that can make a book cumbersome. Check out this line of portable travel guides designed to be used while you're on the move. Adventures covered are anything from town walking tours and beachcombing to whitewater rafting and organized horseback riding excursions. Cultural activities might be dance lessons, art classes, attending a language school or visiting traditional communities in the area. Mother nature has bequeathed Panama with some stunning spots, rich soils and a vast bio-diversity. White- and black-sand beaches alternate with mangrove mazes along the coast. Sparkling wild rivers overflowing with trout run through jungle-clad canyons filled with colorful flowers. Mist-crowned Baru Volcano towers above them all. Walking tours visit historic forts, gold museums, classic city parks and bustling crafts markets.
