New Year 2012 in Panama

Why choose Panama to celebrate the New Year?
River Tubing in Panama
Published in Panama y yoOne of the most exciting, recreational adventures that draws visitors to our region during the winter season is river tubing, as the flow of the rivers is very high.
In the Province of Chiriquí, District of Dolega, there is a river that draws thousands of visitors every year due to its large flowing streams and fast flowing rapids to practice River Tubing (a fun and adrenaline-packed adventure which consists of riding on top of an inner tube on the rapids.)
The province of Chiriquí continues to be an attractive place for nationals and foreigners, who opt to perform plastic surgeries at a low cost and seek comfortable facilities for lodging and transportation from Panama City.
This is attributed, according to experts, to all the advertising campaigns that have continually promoted Chiriquí regarding real estate projects, which have been developed in the districts of Boquete, Alanje (Barqueta), David, and other areas of the province.
