Veraguas is Panama’s only province to span the country from Atlantic to Pacific, offering everything from sandy beaches to cloud-draped mountains. Nearly in the center of the province, where the fertile ranching savannahs start their climb toward the pine-covered slopes, is the town of San Francisco de la Montaña, where you’ll find one of the most extraordinary churches in the Americas.
