Quiz: How much do you know about Panama?

Panama sits between North and South America, with the famous canal that lets ships cross from one ocean to another. The canal is about 51 miles long and helps move a lot of the world’s trade. People here use both the U.S. dollar and a coin called the balboa. Since 1990, the country hasn’t had an army. Most of the land is covered in thick, green forests where animals like jaguars and colorful birds live, and you can also find many kinds of orchids. Panama City is a busy place for business, while the San Blas Islands keep the old traditions of the Guna people alive. This quiz will see how well you know this special place.
