About The Episode

We've been to a lot of Central American countries, but Panama might have surprised us the most. In this episode, we break down our three weeks exploring everything from Boquete's coffee farms to Panama City's skyline. We talk about why most overlanders rush through this country (and why they shouldn't), the uncomfortable social dynamics we witnessed, and how Panama compares to Costa Rica. Plus, we share the story of accidentally walking into the Panamanian president's house and why Chris thinks the food here is ten times better than anywhere else in Central America.
