If you have only one stop for dinner in Panama, then it needs to be at Aya la Vida! This is Panamanian cuisine but taken to another, beautifully crafted level. The food is outstanding and the music and dancing is traditional Panamanian. And my favorite part? They serve every choice of Ron Abuelo, from Añejo to Abuelo Centuria! When you leave this place, you are pretty much 100% Panamanian!
