[[ImageFile:Katja and Augustas hitchiking in Panama.jpg|thumb|left|230px|Hitchhikers [[Katja and Augustas]] on the road in Panama.]]'''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]]
It is possible to hitchhike a boat from Panama to Colombia or [[Ecuador]] so you don't have to cross the [[Darien_Gap|Darien Gap]]. On the Caribbean coast you may find boats in [[Bocas del Toro]], right on the canal or in [[Portobello]].In Portobello you should be able to jump on a charter boad to [[Cartagena]], Colombia (~325 US).== Personal Experiences ==
On :''I wasn't so lucky, and the pacific coast 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. Crashed at plenty of fire stations, and got a discount on a boat cruise to Colombia, but you can do better...''-[[User:Chael777|Chael777]]  :''In Panama is easy to ride, mostly all the situation pickup cars will just stop. And if you get sick of waiting for a ride all the marinas is difficultbuses will be slowing down near the place you try to hitchhike and invite you in, for a cheaper price. In order ''-[[User:Ajeremias|Ajeremias]]  :''I had the same experience as Chael777: guy at the border (route 36 in Bocas del Toro) also refused to find boats heading let anybody in without a plane ticket. Like Chael777, I was able to Colombia or Ecuador you should try forge one on the computer in the internet cafe. Hitchhiking in Panama takes an hour on average, but for longer rides it's usually still faster than buses, which drive slower and stop more frequently.'' -[[httpUser:Dr.Keith|Keith]]  ://www''Entring the country i was forced to show a ticket back to my own country, and a paper proving 500$ in my account.balboayachtclubAs the road system is very simple, with the PanAmericana crossing the country, and some secondery roads crossing verticaly, most the traffic will go same rout, however while waiting in those highways seem long going out of cities, getting towards them from smaller routs is almost too easy.com Balboa Yacht Club''-[[User:Aqua|Aqua]].
