Panama

Capital: Panama City

The Panama Canal, finished in 1914, is 83 km long and links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
When Gatun Lake was created for the canal, it was the largest man-made lake in the world.
Jungle covers around 40 percent of Panama's land, and some of its species are found nowhere else on Earth.
Nearly 500 rivers cross Panama, and the Darién Gap is the only break in the Pan-American Highway.
