What should travellers be mindful of regarding traditions in Panama?

Panama is a culturally rich country, a blend of indigenous, Spanish, African, and other influences. It's polite to greet people with a handshake or a 'hola'. Family is very important, so showing respect for elders is appreciated. Public displays of affection are generally acceptable, but it's always best to err on the side of caution. Being mindful of siesta time (typically from 1 pm to 3 pm), when many businesses close for a break, is also advisable. Finally, learning a few basic Spanish phrases will enhance your interactions with locals.

What are the key airports serving Panama?
