Gamboa Resort

In early August we visited Panama City, Panama. This photo, of the nearby Gamboa Eco-Resort in the middle of a rainforest, was one of the most beautiful and inviting places we saw. This terrific view is from the open-air lobby. Almost everything is open-air there. It's not as hot as you would think in August because it's the "rainy season" (read: their version of winter). Sure, it rained every day, but it didn't get much higher in temperature than 88 or so.
