GENERAL INFORMATION

PANAMA CITY DETAILED GUIDE

Causeway (Calzada Amador) at 9° 80' degrees, it's at the southern entrance of the Panama Canal and stretching nearly 5 miles between the Panama Bay and the Panama Canal into the Pacific Ocean and connecting 3 smalls islands to the mainland called Naos, Perico and Flamenco.

This popular Panama City spot has many tourist-related venues and activities including The Figali Convention Center where people can enjoy great artists on concert, hotels, restaurants such as TGI Friday's, a museum and sea exhibition from the Panama Smithsonian Institute for Tropical Research, marinas like Balboa, and and jogging, skating, biking, and walking trails

Driving in Panama

The PanAmerican way is divided in two by the Panama Canal, and it's exciting to think the whole continent got apart by the Panama Canal and put back together by the Bridge of the Americas, and lately by the Centenario Bridge.

This PanAmerican Road in Panama is doubled-lane and it's very well maintained by the Panamanian government.

The legal speed limit is 60km/hr in cities and
100 km/hr on highways. Driving above these limits
may result in fines with the possibility of losing your
license. Most international driving licenses are accepted
in Panama but check with the rental company to be sure.
Some of the rental companies provide a car with a driver.
A blood alcohol level of aby kind is not tolerated, as well
as talking on a cell phone while driving. Not wearing
seats belts is also prohibited.
