Self Drive in Panama
Travelling by car is a fantastic way to explore a new country as it gives you complete freedom and control over your trip. You can travel at your own pace, stopping where you want, for how long you want at any location along the way. On the whole, the roads in Panama are in good condition, especially the highways. Of course, you’re bound to come across a gravel road at some point.
