Internships in Panama

Panama’s diversity can’t be beat, and luckily, it is possible to find unique internship experiences not far from Panama’s lengthy coasts. Panama City takes centre stage as a busy capital city, located off the Pacific Ocean, while Bocas del Toro provides interns with a laid back feel for a more Caribbean-style island life. 

Panama City. Half of the country’s population lives in Panama City, a cosmopolitan area with a growing skyline and dense rainforest on the outskirts. Internships in Panama City will hone intern’s international business skills as it is Panama’s commercial, political, and cultural capital. Interns can explore the modern skyscrapers and shopping centers or step back in time between the colonial walls and cobblestone streets of Casco Viejo. Located on the Pacific port of the Panama Canal, Miraflores Locks is one of the best spots to learn about the canal’s history, and wave to sailors on vessels passing through en route to destinations around the world. 

Bocas del Toro. Don’t worry about a thing in Bocas del Toro, an archipelago off the Caribbean coast of Panama. Isla Colón is home to Bocas Town and fuses together Panama’s colorful Caribbean traditions, indigenous culture, and growing tourism industry. Interns can dive off the coast and explore the coral reefs or sail the turquoise waters that act as a home for numerous dolphins. Bocas del Drago is the ideal beach for surfing, snorkeling, and observing leatherback sea turtles nest in season. The nearby island of Bastimentos has tranquil beaches (including one named after a tiny red frog) and a zip line course for thrill seekers hoping to soar through the jungle like Tarzan.
