Weather?:

Storm watchers will be glad to know that Panama lies below the hurricane track, though occasionally a weak tropical depression will skirt the Caribbean coast. The high season is mid December-mid April, when it rains the least. Nonetheless, Panama, except for the highlands, is nearly always hot and humid (days in the 80s-90s F and nights not much cooler). With the aid of air-conditioning and sea breezes, Panama can be enjoyed all year, though it can rain as much as an inch a day during the May-November rainy season. But as far is beauty is concerned, you will not find a more beautiful land. The variety is astounding. This is indeed paradise.

Money?:

The US Dollar is Panama’s currency and all major credit cards accepted here.

Is English spoken in Panama?:

Many Panamanians speak English, especially those working in the service industries here in Bocas Del Toro.
