The 'Island of Flowers', a 30-minute ferry ride from Panama City, with a pastel fishing village and one of the oldest churches in the Americas. Day-trippers swim off the sandbar beach, hike to the cross on Cerro de la Cruz, and watch canal-bound ships queue on the horizon. It is the capital's easiest island escape.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
