    Your blog was awesome, you actually show a lot. Not like others who spend time taken pictures of themselves and not experiencing the culture.

    Thanks for the video. Brought me memories from the 90’s . I used to bring my kids to Taboga often specifically on New Year’s Day (just a tradition). Miss my country!

    We are Hyatt members. I am SO glad you mentioned the name of Hyatt’s beautiful hotel. I was wondering why the other Hyatt property closed down near Avenida Balboa…I get it now. This is BAD. We’ll be booking 🎉

    Semana Santa is even more intense in the interior/countryside of the country. Panama is primarily a Catholic country, so the whole week there are processions and the processions usually end at a church.
    Nice vid, thanks 😊 I'm from Panama by the way.

    Thanks for Sharing. Here from Black Travel Movement. I saw the tours and bar crawls but thankfully was with a couple natives who met us there from the U.S.
    I stayed at the Marriott Executive Apts and saw mostly off the beaten path type places. There aren’t any bad views in Panama. Very nice …

      Have a great time. It is the rainy season there now, with July being the wettest month. Be sure to pack an umbrella and sunscreen,, maybe a rain poncho or light jacket. It's very hot in the daytime and mild in the evenings with a nice breeze. Bring light airy clothing. I packed shorts, loose tops, sundresses, and swimwear.

    I enjoyed this video. I'm headed to Panama City, Panama next week, so this video is timely for me. And I'll be staying in Hotel RIU Plaza as well! Thank you so much for sharing your experience in Panama. And thank you for the information on the tours you took. I'm definitely going to look in to scheduling a few for my trip.
    I do have a question, as a solo traveler did you have a need to catch a taxi or an uber at all while you visited?
    Thanks
