wetlands, crops, grazing grounds, forest plantations and soil without vegetation.
Among its most characteristic fauna one can find different species of primates,
mammals, birds, and reptiles. Exploring this path allows students and teachers to
identify flora and fauna typical inherent of the rainforest. It also has a historical

The origin of the name Panama comes from one of the indigenous languages of the
territory the country occupies today. Its meaning, although variable, is associated
with a village of fishermen, registered upon the arrival of the conquistadores. Its
geographic position and its conditions have made Panama the scene of multiples
historical events at the local and world level, which can be appreciated through the
