Panama

Welcome to Panama!
Bienvenidos a Panama!

The whole world is connected to Panama by an important trade route: the Panama Canal. This canal is of course on our list of places to visit, anyone spending a little time in Panama should definitely take a look at this world-famous trade canal. We are already looking forward to it! Panama has two independence days and is therefore probably one of the most “independent” countries in the world – at least if we look at the public holidays. And finally, something less well known: Panama has over 1600 islands, we definitely didn’t know that before our trip either. Maybe we’ll have the opportunity to go on an island trip in Panama – who knows.

So off we go, to a Central American country with charisma all over the world!

Nevado del Ruiz

The ultimate test of altitude fitness awaits us. We deliberately choose the route from Manizales via the Nevado del Ruiz to Salento in order to spend two nights at over 4000 m on the border of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano national park and test how our campervan Ben...
