How to recognise Panama from the road

Drives on the right

Tropical rainforest, a skyline of towers and the canal that joins two oceans.

What to look for

1

Spanish signs

Signs are in Spanish.

2

Tropical green

Away from the capital, roads run through dense, very green tropical vegetation.

3

City towers

Panama City has a skyline of tall, modern glass towers along the bay.

4

Dollar prices

Panama uses the US dollar, so shop signs and price boards show the $ sign.

5

Yellow taxis

Taxis are yellow, and in Panama City there are a great many of them.
