Getting Out of Panama City Panama - Driving Instructions
This one will save you a lot of time and frustration. Driving into Panama City from the interior is a breeze but it's like a Lobster Trap, once you're in, there is only a small opening to find your way out! Though the city details are lacking a good road map of Panama is handy to have. You won't find one easily in Panama though. So, I recommend ordering a Map to be delivered to your home before you leave on your trip. Check the resource links below for a place to order your map. Now this will be handy once you are on the Pan-American Highway outside of the city but it's pretty much useless for helping you find your way out. Make note of these directions and you will be on your way across the Bridge of the Americas in no time! How to get out of Panama City: If you have rented a car at Tocumen (the International Airport) you want to take the toll road, Corredor Sur, into the city. This will end at Avenida Balboa. Now, take AVENIDA BALBOA southwest along the Bay of Panama (BAHIA DE PANAMA). As you approach CASCO VIEJO watch for a Shell Gas Station on your right. Just past and beside the station take a right turn (N/NW). You will come to a busy intersection with a traffic light. Once you pass through the intersection get in the left hand lane and take the on-ramp. It seems a little odd because the ramp is on your left. It feels like you are going the wrong way up an exit ramp. Above you will see a sign, PUENTE DE LAS AMERICAS. The ramp will loop around and you will be traveling south west again along, AVENIDA DE LOS MARTIRES which will take you to PUENTE DE LAS AMERICAS (The Bridge of the Americas). This highway turns into the Pan-American highway and it will take you to the beaches, Azuero, Chiriqui, Boquete, Bocas or Costa Rica if you stay on till the end! Buen Viaje!

Contributor's Note
I wrote these instructions after spending hours lost and frustrated in Panama City. I was trapped in a loop and if not for a very kind Panamanian woman leading me out of town I would probably still be there! You can find more tips like this in my free LearnAboutPanama newsletters.
