January to April is the Panamanian summer:

The weather is hot and dry with little to no rain, a perfect contrast to the cold, snowy and rainy winter weather to the north. Summer is the best time to visit Panama’s great beaches and to visit the Darien jungle and the beautiful costal region of Bocas del Toro.

Summer is also country fair season in Panama: in the interior there are fairs that last for a week or more and the fairs are great way to meet people and get to know the diverse geography of Panama. One of the most popular fairs is the Boquete Flower Fair which begins in January.

Boquete is a beautiful mountain town located in Chiriqui province, Panama; the town is surrounded by large coffee estates through which flow mountain streams that are lined by green meadows.

The Azuero Fair, the Ocu Fair and the International Fair in David are some of the more famous fairs. But there are many more fairs to see and experience in the small, tucked away in the countryside, towns of Panama.

The banking district of Panama is the most developed in Latin America. And many students that attend FSU-Panama work in local and international banks. And of course there is The Panama Canal: one of the engineering wonders of the world. 

There is also the deep history of Panama City; the Casco Viejo section of Panama is the “old center” of Panama City and is now a UNESCO cultural heritage site. There is also Panama Viejo; this is where Panama City was founded and was the city center until the pirate Henry Morgan burned it in the 17th century.

This is just a small sample of what you can see and explore in Panama. If you feel you want to get out of the cold winter in the U.S., Canada or Europe and spend a semester in the tropics, then you should contact FSU-Panama. Find out about the different possibilities that await you in Panama.
