Check to make sure but I believe that is still in effect. As long as the entry date stamped on your passport is 30 days ago or less, you get treated for free. That's one of the perks Panamá offers to attract tourists.

Also make sure to wash your hands and keep hand sanitizer on you, our hands touch our face and spread germs more than we realize, also make sure to take vitamins or drink orange juice to keep your immune system strong.

Meaning whether or not I have an health insurance in case I get infected? No, I don't. Right now and according to numbers the situation looks worse in Panama City than in Bogota. But I will take precautions: no closed spaces, mask everywhere, open area restaurants a. s. o.

Make sure to stay six feet away when having sex with the ladies!

You could maybe consider a side trip to BOG for a change. I understand that things over there are a bit more relaxed. That is what I am right now planning to do and I am traveling from Europe: MAD-PTY-CTG-BOG-PTY-MAD.

All the holidays formally end after Jan 6th, but the 9th is a national non-Christmas holiday. After that everything should be business as usual, as far as covid would allow it. We are back into an extended curfew, 9 pm thru 5 am, no alcohol delivery is allowed. I'm already sick and tired of this stupid curfew with alcohol restrictions, like if that is going to stop new contagions.

On behalf of all of us mongers thanks for the updated information. From a mongering point of view around when will Christmas time be over?

Ping me if you are making the trip. I live here so I can help you around. By December, I hope to have my car back as I got into a car crash and got pretty damaged (the car only). Christmas in all countries is a difficult time. Most girls go back to Colombia or their countries and the few here tend to be melancholic remembering their families. The ones that do work during those days are the real pros. I used to have many contacts, but the fuckin covid messed everything up everywhere. I can start scouting the area and see what is the talent available, perhaps some of my friends are still around. If you want girls to hang out, is going to cost you, many of them want to charge by the hour just to hang out with you.

For cities / town, stay in the capital. There are some playgrounds in the provinces but with limited Spanish and the covid influence, is going to be hard. Also, a word of advice, try to check the news regarding Panama every now and then. There is a possibility that we might go into full lockdown very soon as the infection rate is climbing up again.

I'm looking to vacation in Panama for just over a week, around Christmas time. I've read a little bit about Panama on here, and a lot on general travel sites, but want on towns and cities so I don't have to read about places I won't get to. Help would be very much appreciated.

Are chicas in short supply on Christmas or immediately before / after?

Will accommodations be in short supply, do businesses close down and for how many days?

I plan to visit a bunch of landmarks both because I like to see new cultures (never been to Latin America), and to have things to report to folks at home.

Most importantly, which cities and towns should I stay in to guarantee no lonely nights? (What's the best way to find girls who can hang out and how much would that be?) I will RTFF on those places.

FWIW, I'm trying to learn Spanish because I want to see other places in LatAm, but it's very basic at this point.

Taking a trip there in October. This thread has been really useful, but almost quiet for 6 months.

Planning on staying at Panama Marriott. Read there are no chica fees, but it's been a long time. Frankly, not worried about $40 if that is the case. Will report back! Anyone else got a trip planned?

Hello guys,

I've been all week at panama, going to Habanos every night. I found a beautiful blonde Colombian with the greatest body you'll find there, blue eyes (natural), the best abs in the place, she always dresses in mini micro skirt, showing parts of her boobs, she stands out from the other girls.

She's beautiful but is a total rip off, also she pretends to have the best attitude ever. At the end she turned out to be like a navy seal master chief (training new guys), save your money and go for another hottie.

At the end she was too good to be true. Lesson learn.

Do you have a name? About how old? Is she from Cali, Colombia?

I read this on Trip Advisor and then decided that this hotel is for me!

""We canceled our reservation as soon as we arrived!

Unfortunately, we never got the opportunity to experience the stay at the hotel. Because, after hearing the bad reviews of the hotel and the area it was located in from our taxi driver, on the ride from the airport, we decided to cancel and look for another hotel. We were told that this area of the city is not a good area. And that this particular hotel was regularly frequented by local prostitutes. NOT A GOOD SIGN! My advice: Stay away!
Haha I'll report when I get back. It's close to many restaurants, is cheap and easy walk to other places.
