Hold on to your bags and money!

You can (should?) experience a canal transit:
A partial canal transit tour operates three times a month, every Saturdays, except for the day when it operates as a full transit. We took the full transit tour and enjoyed it very much. After all the partial tour tourists leave (after 4 hours), there is a peacefull ride over the lake and a more impressive transit downwards to Colon (total 8 hours).

We bought our flight tickets to Bogota and then to Quito from Avianca. Then included a trip to Cartagena and did not have to pay 1 cent more!!!
For a Panama-Cartagena-Bogota-Quito tickets we paid only 353 USD!!! Try variations, you will be surprised!

Just outside of Portobello you can experience a fantastic canopy tour.. good relation between price/quality and very nice guides.. http://theadrenalinefactory.com Also in the same area they serve the best octopus in coconut milk! you really have to try some!

I went to Volcan, Chiriqui Panama and its the most romantic and nice place in Panama. I Love It!!!!
