On the northeastern outskirts of Panama City, the white-domed Baha鈥檌 House of Worship is the mother temple for all of Latin America. It looms like a giant egg atop the crest of a hill, with a beautiful, breezy interior. Readings from the Baha鈥檌 writings (in English and Spanish) are held Sunday morning at 10am. Any bus to Col贸n can let you off on the highway, but it鈥檚 a long walk up the hill. It's 11km from the city center on V铆a Trans铆stmica.
