What should I know before traveling to Panama?

Panama is easy to visit, but travelers should know a few basics before arriving: use U.S. dollars, prepare for tropical heat and rain, carry ID, use Uber or trusted transport, avoid remote risk zones like parts of Darién, and plan beyond Panama City if you want beaches, rainforest, islands, or mountains.

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, rain protection, sun essentials, and comfortable footwear. Panama is hot, humid, and often rainy.
