Panama Panama

Panama is located in the south of Central America, with an S-shaped territory connecting Costa Rica and Colombia, the Caribbean Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west, because its territory connects North and South America.

Panama has undulating terrain and vertical valleys. Apart from the plains along the coast, it is mostly mountainous, and it is rich in forest and river resources, as well as a number of volcanoes, giving coffee trees ideal conditions for planting.

Panama is close to the equator and has a tropical maritime climate. It is humid during the day and cool at night. The annual average temperature is between 23 ℃ and 27 ℃, and the annual average rainfall is 1500-2500 mm. Under the influence of geographical environment, Panama has a complex and changeable microclimate. The environment from east to west allows cold air to flow through the Central Mountains and converge at more than 1900 meters, thus forming a very unique microclimate in the Boquete and Volc á n Candela areas, and the land around this area is rich in volcanic ash. These fertile soils provide perfect conditions for the growth of coffee. Making it a major producer of Panamanian coffee.
