'''Panama''' is a country in [[Central America]] where hitchhiking happens most readily. Roads north of Panama city are brilliant. Roads to the south are atrocious, and worsen as you approach [[Yavisa]]. Hitch-hiking is called ''viajar a lift'', you can say you are ''buscando un lift hacia...'' (''looking for a lift towards...'').

There are Panama has borders with [[Costa Rica]] in to the North and [[Colombia]] in to the South. However, there are no roads to [[Colombia]]. There is a way To get to go through Colombia see the jungle but it's extremely dangerous due to article on the Colombian 'guerillas'.[[Darién Gap|Darien Gap]]

== Getting around :''I wasn't so lucky, and the Darién Gap immigration official asked me for a ticket proving that I was leaving Panama. He told me to go buy a 25 dollar ticket from Panama City to San Jose. Instead I went into an internet cafe and made a fake ticket that convinced him I was flying back to Chicago from Panama City.

It :''In Panama is possible easy to hitchhike a boat from Panama to Colombia or [[Ecuador]] so you don't have to cross ride, mostly all the [[Darién Gap]]pickup cars will just stop.

However, slowing down near the best place you try to find boats to Colombia is hitchhike and invite you in the San Blas Islands on the northern Carribean coast of Panama.
