Sights to See in Panama Naturally, no trip to Panama would be complete without a visit to its famous canal, but there’s much more to see and do in this small nation than that.

Settled even before the capital city, Isla Taboga has a small church that is said to be the secondoldest in the Western Hemisphere. Also, the famous conquistador Francisco Pizarro set sail from Isla Taboga, bound for Peru, in 1524.
