Panama is diverse in its landscape, nature and climate.
Panama's coastal areas, including Panama City and David, experience a tropical wet and dry climate with high humidity, distinct wet and dry seasons, and consistently warm temperatures.
These regions can be hot and humid, making them suitable for beach activities but often necessitating air conditioning.
The highlands, particularly in areas like Boquete and Volcán, have a temperate climate with cooler temperatures year-round, requiring neither air conditioning nor heating.
