Travel Blogs from Panama
Costa Rica, check
This is a top pick! ... about Fast Love and all sorts from huge speakers... i have to go now because the computer is being fixed at the hostel, but anyway we'll tell you about Puerto Viejo and a bit of Panama next time. See you all soon and keep well ...
Cool cool mountain air
This is a top pick! We stayed in Boquete for a total of 3 nights. It was very beautiful there, and sort of reminded us of home because of the mountains and evergreen trees (some type of longleaf pine, cedars, and junipers too). But of course without the snow. The town is ...
Coping with Copa
This is a top pick! ... travel 'firsts’ anymore. Usually that is a good thing, but my first flight on Copa Air, from Guadalajara to Panama City started with a ‘first’. I reluctantly left the cosiness and friendliness of the Birds of Paradise condos and made my ...
Boquete - Misty
This is a top pick! It's cold in Boquete, and very very beautiful. the sun shines during rainfall over the volcano, the wind blows hot and the weather changes by the minute. Bizarro weather - very difficult to dress for the day. Just a few miles ...
Last entry from Central America...
This is a top pick! ... behind with the blog but have no time to do it in between all the amazing sights and activities and "red devils" (buses) in Panama City. But I{m worried if i dont do it i´m going to forget everything by time i get home! From La Fortuna in Costa Rica ...
Best Bus Seat - ever!
This is a top pick! ... ; just left her at the one and only stop the bus makes on that route – she headed south for her last week in Panama – I managed to find Carolyn and Colin (a guy from Edmonton who also was at the conference in David) in a downtown ...
We´ve made it to Panama
This is a top pick! ... it has a TV and phone and A/C, all rarities at the hotels we stayed at in Mexico. We went to the Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal today. It was interesting, but there were WAY too many nasty Americans. We caught a taxi back to the city with two ...
Some like it hot
This is a top pick! ... haven´t found one yet, but are on the lookout, and hope to have them up within a week or so. Keep checking back. Andrew is especially fond of one of him in front of a gun shop in Panama City with a large handpainted, illustrated menu of items ...
Christmas Panamanian style.
This is a top pick! I am spending Christmas on Cayo Carenero. Just a two minute boat ride across from Isla Colón and the tourist town of Bocas del Toro. It's a beautiful tiny island and I have splashed out for a couple of nights at comfortable hotel Tierra Verde. I don't ...
Checking in
This is a top pick! ... walking back and forth at the border. yesterday we took a 7 hour local bus - not quite a chicken bus but.....from panama city to here...packed to the brim and only ONE stop........drinking less water today for sure!.... we saw nicer buses but ...
Reaquainting with Panama City
This is a top pick! ... from Calgary and have been friends since. They had arrived the day before me and seemed to have met half the neighborhood. Panama is a pretty friendly place. So day 2 for me and day 3 for them, we recruited a taxi driver they had met ...
A man a plan a canal Panama (read it backwards)
This is a top pick! ... in colonial colours. The cells in which prisoners were immersed up to their necks during high tide were particularly haunting. Panama Canal - This really is an impressive piece of engineering. It stretches 80km from Panama City on the Pacific side to ...
Things I don't like on this trip, or even hate.
This is a top pick! I am at the Purple House hostel (in the city of David) with Ben and Steve. We have more or less just finished the seven hours hike from Guadalupe to Boquete, known as Sendero de los Quetzales (the Quetzal trail.) It's a beautiful hike through cloud ...
Panama City
This is a top pick! ... and in a district full of hotels but there are very few restaurants and the ones that are there aren't amazing (the guide book said - Panama City, great food). It just seems to lack a true centre but maybe our opinion will change as we go on. To break ...
Too Hot, Too Cold....Still Looking for Just Right
This is a top pick! ... world's best place to retire by many publications and has been forefront on the expat radar for a number of years. Panama’s very generous 'Pensionada" program allows for expats who have a small minimum guaranteed income to apply for a special ...
Up in the Mountains
This is a top pick! ... on the bed groan whenever Andrew moves. We haven´t been here long, so we thought we´d fill in some blanks on Panama City. After the first night, we had decided that Panama City was a disgusting, horrible place to be. Our first morning, ...
Panama in X-mas time!
This is a top pick! This is what happened before the start of the trip in Costa-Rica. I stayed a souple of months or so in Panama, visiting Bocas del Toro, Boca Brava and David. I thought I lost my pictures of this trip but now I found some of them in a box. ...
Another Border Crossing!
This is a top pick! ... Viejo, minibus with 4 Danes and two Israilis to the border.....walk from Costa Rica across a very rickety bridge at Sixalo into Panama - no muss, no fuss.... It definitely was quicker and easier than our previous crossing at the much bigger ...
The Panama Canal
This is a top pick! I have been quite the tourist here in the big city. My first stop, however, was the famous Panama Canal. The museum and facts about this "engineering marvel" are pretty cool but to see it in operation is amazing. My German buddies and I arrived in time to ...
A somewhat "normal" Thankgsgiving
This is a top pick! ... a ride back to the main road saving us from getting too wet and headed back to the hotel. Fortunately for me, all the Panama Peace Corps volunteers were having their Thanksgiving dinner here and I was able to eat the semi-warm leftovers for half price. ...
Here we go Again
This is a top pick! ... write more often, even if I had nothing to say... So here I am. We have had a great time with Andrew's parents here in Panama City and are a little sad to be leaving the spoiled life of rental car and Donna and Bill making all the meals (thanks again!). ...
PANAMA
This is a top pick! ... which can go through the canal. Observations about Central America It's been a long haul from Los Angeles down to Panama City, but a fascinating journey. We've passed through 7 different countries, lowland deserts, highland deserts, modern tourists ...
We went to Colon and didn't get robbed!
This is a top pick! ... saw the sad town of Portobello. It is a very impoverished area – drastically different from the sparkly skyscrapers of Panama City and definitely different from crime ridden Colon. Some of it looked like the photos of Haiti – same ...
Panama, land of the canal and so much more...
This is a top pick! ... over the see trying to be as arrogant as any modern western city... The beautiful bridge of the Americas over the Panama canal symbolizes the link between north and south America en between the Atlantic and Pacific ocean... I was almost arrested by a ...
David and Panama City
This is a top pick! ... in one of the seats behind us had thrown up and I was almost ready to jump off the bus, we mercifully pulled into Panama City's Transit Centre. After surviving another hair-raising taxi ride, we pulled up at Hotel Lisboa at around 6pm. Our well-appointed ...
Episode 20: Snorkeling at Bocas del Toro
This is a top pick! Paid to Play Episode 20: the one where the author sails on a catamaran in the Caribbean Sea and snorkels among amazingly colorful coral. Don't cry for me. I know for most of you stuck working in an orifice or in Cubicle-landia rolling the ...
The Bay of Shame.
This is a top pick! ... I also miss out on the beautiful San Blas archipelago. One of the few must sees I had for Central America. I can still fly there from Panama City, but decide to skip it. I have spent too much time on the boat, as well as money, and just want to get out ...
Panama - land of parties and a big Canal!
This is a top pick! ... beach on the Carribean side with Eddie, Chris & his brother Brian who knows more about English football than anyone else in Panama! After a couple of hours relaxing on the beach and watching the passing ships we headed to see an old fort built by ...

More exploring....
This is a top pick! After the canal and in the following few days, I visited Casco Viejo, Panama Viejo - Panama City`s original location before pirate Henry Morgan burned it down - and also National park Metropolitano. This entry is just to separate these pix from the Canal ...
