The narrow point of Panama, known as the Isthmus of Panama, is the land bridge that connects North and South America. It is approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers) wide at its narrowest section. This strategic location is significant for trade and transportation, as it is home to the Panama Canal, which facilitates maritime navigation between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The isthmus plays a crucial role in global shipping and commerce.
