Preparing for Your Visit 

Maps, Dictionaries and other travel tools are not easy to find in Panama. I suggest you order these to be delivered to your home prior to departure. Don't wait until you are ready to go. These additional tools will serve you well in your trip planning so order them now.

1. When it comes to Travel Guides only the best will do and that's Lonely Planet!


Start with the best Travel Guide available.

Read it cover to cover and take notes - you will then have a list of places to see and things to do.

"Discover Panama...
Sit back under a Caribbean sunset in the laid-back Archipelago de Bocas del Toro
Set sail across the Pacific to Isla de Coiba, a 'Lost World' of virgin rainforests
Fill your belly on tapas before partying until sunrise in Panama City
Buy a hand-sewn mola from the fiercely independent Kuna in the Archipelago de San Blas..."



Next, you'll need a Good Map of Panama. Study it - even though you may choose to go with an organized tour (something I strongly recommend especially on your first visit) it is still fun and helpful to know where you've been, where you are and where you are going.

2. Getting There: Shop Around and Save

I am loving this new site for Cheap Airfares to Panama! As a matter of fact I'm not only getting good deals to and from Panama but finding it excellent for Cheap Airfares anywhere - especially for travel in the U.S.

It is so cool! It automatically searches airfares on all of the discount sites. Then it scans continuously for the best fares and updates the prices as it works.

I checked for Panama to Miami on the typical consolidator sites the best fare to Panama from Miami was $310.

Then I checked this Travel Site and here's what I got: $244

This site is very cool and will definitely save us money flying to Panama or anywhere else for that matter.

Check it out here - Lowest Airfares Online! Oh, and be sure to register for additional perks, benefits and some extra discounts.

3. Easy Communcation




You will also want a good Spanish-English Dictionary.

We tried a bunch before we discovered this one. It is by far the best!








In a few days I'll send you Step 2 and some more suggested Panama Travel Resources and be sure to watch your inbox for my next "Letter from Panama" to discover everything we learned during our two year search.
