How we make our guides
Our goal is to be the most comprehensive, robust resource for tourism in Panama.
How we make our guidesPanamá Spot is an independent travel guide to Panama. We write for people planning a trip: where to go, how to get there, what it costs, and what is worth skipping. Every guide answers the question first, then gives you the detail.
We started in 2026 with the places travellers ask about most, Panama City, Boquete, El Valle de Antón, Bocas del Toro and San Blas, and we keep adding more of the country, one guide at a time. Panamá Spot is independently owned and edited, and every guide is published in English, Spanish or both.
Every guide starts with the question a traveller actually needs answered, and answers it in the first lines. From there we go to the source: official sites, timetables, and the operators and businesses themselves. Where it matters, guides list their sources at the end.
Prices, hours and schedules carry the date we checked them, and our guides show when they were last updated. Photos are captioned with what they show, and outside photographers are credited. When things change, we revisit the guide, and when we get something wrong, we fix it as soon as we hear about it.
Panamá Spot is independently owned. It is not part of a tour operator, hotel or government office. We work with a small number of local partners, and some links on the site lead to them; on our guides their boxes are labelled Local partner.
What you can expect from every page on Panamá Spot.
Panama changes fast: fees go up, bus times move, trails close. If something in a guide is wrong, write to hola@panamaspot.com with the page and what has changed. We check it against the source, fix the guide itself and update its date.
Our guides on residency, buying property, healthcare and medical treatment are general information, not legal, financial or medical advice. Rules and prices change, so we point you to the official source; confirm with a licensed professional before you decide.
Photos are captioned with what is in the frame. Photos from outside photographers are credited, with their licence, under the guide's gallery. When we can't confirm exactly where a photo was taken, we don't name a place for it.
