Panama ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on March 3, 1978. It has a balanced heritage portfolio, featuring both cultural and natural sites: colonial military fortifications and the archaeological-historic core of Panama City, alongside vast protected natural areas such as Darién and Coiba, which highlight biodiversity and geological significance.

Its Tentative List emphasizes colonial-era infrastructure and archaeological landscapes, notably the Transisthmian Route, reflecting recurring themes of historical trade routes, fortified architecture, natural‑cultural interaction, and conservation of ecosystems
