Getting There:

Most people fly into the main international airport, Tocumen, although there are rare flights to Enrique Malek, near David and the Costa Rican border. You can also cross from Costa Rica by land in three places, 1 on each coast and 1 in the mountains. There are busses available to all three borders and after crossing, just be aware of the times. From Tocumen you are only about 20 minutes from the center of Panama City. Taxi′s cost about $25 or you can rent your own car (not highly recommended).
