Insider Tip: Border crossing can be tricky sometimes, so please be patient and be sure to have all required documentation with you. The guides will do their best in assisting you across the border hassle-free, but their hands are tied if you do not have proper documentation. Panama has really tightened up the border crossings recently and scrutinizes every detail. You must carry printed out documents, they will not accept anything on your phone or laptop screen.
