I went there 3 years ago for 10 days. Awesome place!! Beaches and mountains. American Expat communities in several areas. I hope to go back.
Great information. Thanks 😊
Dollars have been the paper currency since qt least 1904, not 15 years ago. Panama City also has a metro system, it is safer than Los Angeles, San Francisco or New York.
Correct. When I visited there with my family, I felt a WHOLE lot safer than when I visited New York and Pennsylvania. My children even went out at nights to the convenient stores. We plan on going back in the near future God willing.
@@sallyannealleyne2390 The Watchman River has been covering all sorts of different topics.
Great assessment of the country and everything seems to be true.
Panamá use the American dollar right after separation from Colombia in 1903.
Was after build the canal , because was a lot of USA citizens living in Panama in that time .
Time Code 9:40 What's the restaurant called written? 🙂
Visa for an American Passport tourist visa is 180 days...
Is there some footage?
I sont agree with you. I am in panama and this is not true. There are many times you have to pay in cash (more than i thought) and it is very safe. Of course you dokt walk into the poorest Areas but compared to Europa and the US its so safe...
I love Panama. I almost cried when we were leaving. It's so beautiful, the people are extremely friendly and we felt safe during our entire trip.
I am sorry, but as a local tour guide in Panama, I have to say that this video has too many inaccuracies. Not sure if you had a chance to visit Panama before filming the video.
they speak english there?
So why not tell us what is inaccurate? Just saying “this is wrong” is not constructive.
@@robinmalik4528 They speak Spanish there. You will find some of the locals speak English.

1. the first map, there is no road between Panama and Columbia
2. the indigenous groups he mentioned they were not on the lend of Panama before conquistadors came, they came in the 17th and 18th centuries
3. Panama make good money from the canal but not ‘the most’
4. the tourists from US and Canada can stay 180 without visa, not 90 days
5. Panama use Balboas but in fact all paper money are US dollars, Balboas you can find only in coins
6.Panama use US dollar since 1904. not in the last 10-15 years
7. Panama is in general safe country and there is no problem if you have your camera (you won’t go to really poor areas of the city, there is nothing tou can do there)
8.the most of the people don’t speak English
9. the lot of the African descendants came to Panama to work on the projects of the railroad and the canal from the Caribbean island when the slavery was already over
10. “real Panamanian food you won’t find in Fonda Lo Que Hay (but food there is amazing and inspired with local traditional food and it is the 51th best restaurant in Latin America at the moment, if you want “real Panamanian foodl” one of the options is El Trapiche
11. Fonda Lo Que Hay doesn’t have 2 locations (it was moved already 2 times to bigger spaces) and they don’t make traditional dishes; reservations is accepted for up to 30% of the tables
13. Panama city had china town but now the most of the Chinese descendants live in the area El Dorado
14. Bocas del Toro is not thr National Park but one part of the region Bocas del tore is the national park (Isla Bastimentos)
the exhibition part of Miraflores Visitor’s center at the moment is closed due to renovation the museum of Panama Canal is in Casco Vieno, not on the canal
Feel free to contact me when you will plane to visit Panama, greetings
It doesn't have that many inaccuracies, and no glaring inaccuracies as to say. Recurring ideas of the country being expensive or the city not being walkable, may be what stands out mostly as inaccurate. There were a few instances of the image not corresponding to what he was talking about, or delayed change of image when changing the subject of talk to another place.
He also only started being more innacurate in the last part of the video, when talking about other regions, like mixing up stuff from different regions that are near to each other.
But overall he did give mostly correct information, at least on the more relevant topics.
Traffic is Horrible!
IS Panama Canal open, or is it going to be closed?
what's the name of the 1st restaurant?
Nobody ever mentions about cell phone reception and how u can have cell use if u coming from the states?
tmobile (free, but potentially slow depending on plan), pay us carrier for roaming (but get to use your home cell number with ease), buy a panamanian sim or e-sim at arrival. google search you'll find blog posts. airport sims will be expensive but convenient. some travelers will use their own roaming or offline maps to get to city center, then buy a much cheaper sim there. good luck.
Right 😂
I left Panama 3 days ago. I'm from Barbados. When we first got there, our taxi driver took us to buy sim cards (which is very cheap. We bought 2 sim cards with unlimited 7 day data for around $14). The calls, reception, connectivity to the internet etc was seamless.
"Panama is pretty expensive." Well, it can be if you're doing all the tourist things in the tourist places, paying gringo prices. But if you go off the beaten path it can be quite affordable. If you look at several sources you can see that the average salary in Panama ranges from $1,700 to just over $2,000. That's the *average.* That means many Panamanians live on less than $1,700 / month. Try doing that in the US. 😆
Have you ever been to Panama because most of the stuff you talk about is so wrong
Really wow
so make it better
Everyone will not have the same experience😂
Did you spend time in any of the resort towns? And would Panama City be somewhat safer than other Central American cities?
On a USA passport, you can stay in Panama 180 days.
Nahajyera gute
Why is so stupidly expensive in Panama City than in Colombia. Give me a break!
No way this school buses?
Costa Rica is to the west, Colombia is to the east.
Panama
Costa Rica is to the WEST
Colombia is to the EAST
2:20 credibility lost. Neither Panama as a country nor the government of Panama specifically "makes most of its money" from the Panama Canal, even before most recent droughts reducing revenue. For the last few years, revenue from the Canal has been $3B-$4B, whereas government revenues have been ~$13-14B.
Also, this idiot hasn't mentioned how amazing the metro is to use in Panama City. If you're arriving at Tocumen Airport between 5am and 10pm, consider walking to the metro station just next door and use the metro. Easy to use, fairly fast, and about 1/10th the price of uber/taxi (or less). There are also pre-paid shared shuttles from the airport which are 1/2 the price of uber (about 10 usd) and will go door to door. With lots of bags, this may be your best option. The metro has opened a new line recently and gets you lots of places (though certainly not everywhere) in the City.
The only part of the video which is closer to accurate and worth watching for his perspective is the food part starting at 8:10. Skip everything else.
You seem like a kind, warmhearted person
@@TalesFromTheRoad kind i am not. nor claiming to be. but also not posting subpar videos which NEED clickbait titles and fail to deliver.
Wow ,,why inaccurac😅
Panama is not South American
He made a slight error because first he did say CENTRAL American and then changed up to SOUTH American...😞
No hay mejores fotos de la gente? Pura foto de gente de bajos recursos!
no se puede incluir todo en un solo video
Garbage thrown all over the place in the city and all over the countryside too. Horrible
Yeah maybe, but not as much like in the needlepark in Philadelphia, or LA homeless people...
