The Republic of Panama is an isthmus, an elongated and narrow strip of land that connects two continents: South America with Central America. It is considered a transit country, since since 1914 the Panama Canal operates, a navigation route between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. This condition has led him to be a meeting point between several cultures, and a strategic place for trade and exchange.
#CILAC18 will be held at Wyndham Panama Albrook Mall, in Panama City. Other parallel events will also take place at the City of Knowledge, a space located 8 kilometers from the hotel. In addition to these two locations, activities linked to CILAC will be deployed throughout the city.
