This might surprise people coming from the US and Europe as I often see them logging bags full of bottled water back to their hotels. But the drinking water in Panama is not only safe to drink, but it is also the best tasting water I have ever tried. Now back in Panamá after nearly 2 years in Denmark I am really crazy for the water. It is so refreshing that you will sometimes here the expression the Champagne of the Chagrés.
The water for Panama City comes from the Madden Dam reservoir as seen above. This is filled with water from the Chagrés river. The water system here was built by the US government during the building of the canal to ensure the health of the Canal workers. What this means is that Panama was probably one of the first cities in the world to have clean safe drinking water. The nice taste of the water though comes from the source material, the fantastic rains over the rain forests of the isthmus. Source: PanamaFAQ |

| Panama, The Next Hotspot |
| This recent press release by CNBC is labling panama as the next hotspot. Enjoying a healthy economy panama will be the site of not only an expanded Panama Canal but also home to a Hard Rock Hotel Panama, Marriott, Radisson, and Le Méridien as well as Donald Trump, whose 65-story Trump Ocean Club is slated to open in 2010 Panama’s image and fortunes are bound to the canal that slices through it, a 80km feat of partly French, largely US engineering linking the Atlantic and Pacific, lucratively facilitating 5% of the world’s trade. For 75 years, the canal and a 15km buffer zone were administered by the US as recompense for their efforts. Since regaining control in 1999, this southernmost Central American republic, with a population of 3.3 million, has undergone an energetic transformation. Panama Canal, once at risk of being bypassed by the new generation of super-sized container ships, is undergoing a €4.6bn expansion, and the confidence inspired by the project has been a catalyst for development across all key sectors. |
