Panama is a culturally complex country, with a history shaped by centuries of colonialists, invading forces, travelers, and entrepreneurs, all attracted by the action involving one of the world’s most important waterways: the Panama Canal. Because Panama has historically served as a crossroads of trade for the Americas, it has attracted workers and entrepreneurs from around the globe.
