Thom Lane Pedasi : Invest in Panama Pedasi
Pedasi is the hometown of former president Mireya Moscoso. During her term, the town benefited significantly in the form of good roads, lighting and maintenance. Pedasi is also located near the natural island reserve Isla Iguana, which has beautiful white sand beaches and a large variety of birds.With a beautiful landscape, excellent deep sea fishing, good surfing, pretty Spanish Colonial architecture, friendly locals, and completely deserted beaches, Pediasi is a hidden gem that has yet to be discovered by tourists.
Like all of Central America, the native Indian population of Panama was all but destroyed by the disease and powerful weapons inflicted on them by the Spanish during their aggressive colonization.
As the Spanish regional power increased, Panama became the launching point for invasions into South America, and most of the treasure mined (stolen) by the conquistadors in Bolivia and Peru was sent back to Panama for transport to Spain.
Treasures shipped across the Caribbean became a strong magnet (an easy mark) for pirates (and over time) to reduce their increasing losses, the Spanish Crown decided to transport the gold and silver south, around the southern tip of South America, on a long (but safe) journey back to Spain.
With little strategic value remaining for Spain, Panama was ignored. When neighboring Colombia gained its independence from Spain in 1821, Panama became a province of that new country.
With US backing, Panama seceded from Colombia in 1903, and promptly signed a treaty with the US allowing for the construction of a canal and the US sovereignty over a strip of land on either side, to be called the Panama Canal Zone.
Attractions: Panama is replete with points-of-interest for any type of traveler, including tropical rain forest tours, isolated mountain retreats, wonderful beaches, some of the planet's best bird-watching opportunities, historical sites, numerous national parks, as well as countless fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing and white-water rafting venues.
