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 to a lift towards...).
