Choose materials that are <strong>quick-drying<\/strong>; this is a significant advantage in Panama&#8217;s high humidity and for staying comfortable after an unexpected rain shower.<\/li>\n<li><strong>At least one slightly dressier outfit:<\/strong> For evenings out in Panama City, pack a smart-casual option. Some finer restaurants or popular rooftop bars may have a <strong>casual-smart dress code<\/strong>, so a simple dress, a collared shirt, or smart trousers will be appropriate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Underwear and socks:<\/strong> Bring enough for your trip, with a focus on moisture-wicking fabrics that dry quickly and keep you comfortable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swimsuits:<\/strong> Pack at least two so you always have a dry one ready for the pool or the next beach excursion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A sarong or cover-up:<\/strong> A versatile item for walking to and from the beach, covering up at a seaside lunch spot, or lounging by the pool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>V\u00eatements d'ext\u00e9rieur et couches<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A reliable, lightweight rain jacket or poncho:<\/strong> This is a non-negotiable item for any trip to Panama. A packable, waterproof layer is <strong>essential year-round<\/strong> for sudden tropical downpours, and it is especially critical during the rainy season from May to December.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A light sweater, fleece, or pashmina:<\/strong> Useful for overly air-conditioned restaurants and museums, cool evenings, or for trips to the cooler highland regions like <strong>Boquete<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Chaussures pour terrains divers<\/h1><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Comfortable walking shoes or sneakers:<\/strong> A must for exploring Panama City&#8217;s historic Casco Viejo, walking along the Amador Causeway, or general sightseeing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Waterproof hiking boots or trail shoes with good grip:<\/strong> These are <strong>crucial for jungle treks<\/strong>, visiting national parks, and exploring volcanic trails. They provide necessary support and protection on uneven, often muddy, terrain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water shoes or sturdy sandals:<\/strong> Ideal for activities involving water, such as visiting waterfalls, navigating rocky beaches, or for wet landings from boats. Brands like Teva or Chaco are excellent choices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flip-flops:<\/strong> Perfect for easy, casual wear at the beach, by the pool, or at your accommodation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Kit de sant\u00e9 et de s\u00e9curit\u00e9<\/h2>\n<h3>Protection solaire et anti-insectes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cr\u00e8me solaire \u00e0 haut FPS et large spectre :<\/strong> The sun is very strong this close to the equator. If you plan on swimming or snorkeling, please choose a <strong>reef-safe<\/strong> formula to protect marine ecosystems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>After-sun lotion or aloe vera gel:<\/strong> Soothing for your skin after a day of sun exposure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insect repellent containing DEET or Picaridin:<\/strong> C'est <strong>non-negotiable<\/strong> for your health and comfort, especially in jungle, rural, and coastal areas where mosquitoes are prevalent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lip balm with SPF:<\/strong> To protect your lips from sun and windburn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lunettes de soleil :<\/strong> Polarized lenses are highly recommended to reduce glare from the water and bright sun.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A wide-brimmed hat or cap:<\/strong> Essential for protecting your face and neck from direct sun during excursions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Premiers Soins de Base<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>M\u00e9dicaments sur ordonnance personnels :<\/strong> Bring enough for the entire duration of your trip in their original containers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Antiseptic wipes and bandages:<\/strong> For treating minor cuts and scrapes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Antidouleurs :<\/strong> Pack your preferred brand of ibuprofen or acetaminophen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anti-itch cream:<\/strong> Hydrocortisone cream is useful for soothing insect bites.<\/li>\n<li><strong>M\u00e9dicament contre le mal des transports :<\/strong> Highly recommended for any boat travel, such as trips to the San Blas Islands, Taboga, or for whale watching tours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anti-diarrhea medication:<\/strong> A practical precaution for any international travel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Documents et argent<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Passport &amp; visa:<\/strong> Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates, and check if a visa is required for your nationality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Copies des documents importants :<\/strong> Keep both digital (e.g., in cloud storage) and physical photocopies of your passport, flight details, and insurance, separate from the originals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Travel insurance information:<\/strong> Have your policy number and emergency contact details easily accessible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flight and accommodation details:<\/strong> It is helpful to have printed or offline copies available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Driver&#8217;s license:<\/strong> Necessary if you plan on renting a car.<\/li>\n<li><strong>US Dollars in small denominations:<\/strong> The US Dollar is an official currency in Panama and is used for all paper money. We advise carrying <strong>small bills<\/strong> ($1, $5, $10), as they are essential for taxis, local markets, and tips where larger notes can be difficult for vendors to change.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Credit\/debit cards:<\/strong> Widely accepted in cities and tourist areas, but it is always wise to carry some cash for smaller, local establishments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00c9lectronique et \u00e9quipement<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Smartphone and portable power bank:<\/strong> A power bank is invaluable for long day trips to ensure your phone stays charged for photos and navigation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Universal travel adapter:<\/strong> Panama uses power outlets of <strong>Type A et B<\/strong>, which are the same as those used in the USA.
