Other mobility restrictions are still in place on Sundays again, in certain provinces but not in Panama City!
Right now there is a curfew between 10 pm and 5 am Monday through Saturday in Panama City but starting July 26th, the curfew will be only from 12 am until 4 am.
Commutes from one province to another is allowed, except to Colon and West Panama on Sundays only. Total lock down on Sundays is in effect on Sundays for Colon and West Panama.
Tocumen International airport is allowing foreign visitors. Covid tests are required to enter Panama and if you forgot, they are available at the airport at $50 per person. Kids under 5 do not require the test.
From the Panama’s Tocumen airport site: If your final destination is Panama you must provide:
A medical Certificate with a Negative Coronavirus (Covid 19) PCR or Antigen test results, issued at most 48 hours before departure or perform it upon your arrival at the airport. Please click on link: www.tocumenaeropuerto.com/en/
Covid-19 cases are decreasing again according to the latest news on July 20th and an ongoing vaccination process is taking place.
If you decide to travel under the current circumstances, do so responsibly, be realistic and mindful that tour guides are only humans and we can only do so much and have very little control over external factors.
As usual, The Real Panama Trs always keeps the cars clean inside and out (even before Covid) and we only do private tours for families or friend bubbles (that has not changed either) which should give you peace of mind.
The Real Panama Team is commited to excel your expectations and will settle for nothing less. There is only one shot to create happy memories for you and your loved ones and we will make it happen.
Feel free to check the english versions of our local newspapers online: La Prensa de Panama or La Estrella de Panama for up to date Covid 19 news.
Warm Hugs and Be safe

The experiences we recommend during this pandemic
We want you to feel and be safe, so we are offering hikes deeper into the jungle (3 days) away from crowds, to places were you have space to breathe and have fun.
This is a good time to consider learning to Dive with our expert trainers with 20+ years of experience and certified. There is no Covid under the water, so, that’s the place to explore right now.
Camping is ideal during this time of the year and we are ready for that! BBQ included (2 days experience.
Small towns, 4 hours+ away, 3+ days trips are highly recommended.
None of our new offerings will be around the corner and most of the new places will require physical effort and as a prize: paradise.
