Backpacking in Panama Index

Backpacking Adventure Stories from my 103rd country, Panama

Last stop on my overland journey south from Mexico.

Panama City was my favourite country. I had a great hostel, ate well and affordably and slept well. And I got to see the Panama Canal which was one on my top things to see in Central America.

I travelled from Panama City to Mexico City using a mixture of chicken buses and long distance buses but avoiding flying and GringoShuttles.
