But first…are you wondering what to pack for Panama?

Since Panama has both wet and dry seasons, knowing what to pack can be confusing. In truth, you don’t need to pack too differently as the temperatures remain constant throughout the year. If you are visiting the highlands, you’ll need a rain jacket and potentially some warmer layers for the cooler evenings.

During my last big backpacking trip, I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the beautiful country of Panama. It quickly became one of my favourite destinations in Central America. So much so that I’m already planning a return trip! I loved it all.

I spent several weeks exploring. From the bustling streets of Panama City to the pristine beaches of the San Blas Islands, the country offers a unique blend of modern amenities and natural wonders.

So, whether you’re wandering through the colourful streets of Casco Viejo, kayaking through the mangroves, or lounging on a secluded beach, Panama has something for everyone.
