Congreso Anfictiónico de 1826

Also spelled: el Congreso de Panamá

Definition

A gathering convened by Simón Bolívar in Panama City to unite the newly independent American republics. It failed in its aim, but it established early the idea of Panama as the continent's meeting point — an idea the country still invokes two centuries later.
