In case you’re wondering why I’ve posted so many Panama posts lately, it’s because I’m currently in Panama updating the 3rd edition Frommer’s Panama Guide. I’ll be traveling around the country for about a month and thought I’d take advantage of my time here to write plenty of Panama-related articles. You can also check out my hotel/restaurant recommendations and personal observations about my trip at my personal blog, A Nomad Life.
I’ll also be happy to take restaurant/hotel/tour agency recommendations from readers who’ve lived or traveled in Panama! Also, check out my articles on places to live in Panama, and a hotel review on Bristol Buenaventura.
Hi Jisel, I’m Canadian and been living in Panama for a couple of years. Here are some places you shouldn’t miss in the Coronado area:

El Litoral, Coronado
Casa del Encanto, in an idyllic mountain setting in Altos del Maria
i am curious about getting from Panama City to the San Blas islands. I will be meeting a private boat and am uncertain whether to bus or fly out of panama city. would you know if there may be a decent mainland port that we would be able to meet our vessel in, or would we need to fly into the capital of san blas.
any other info you may have on the san blas region would be great! look forward to the new frommers guide.
