Best Time to visit
The best time to visit Panama is during the dry season, which runs from mid-December to mid-April. This is when you can enjoy sunnier weather and fewer rain showers, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities and beach vacations. Keep in mind that the dry season is also the peak tourist season, so you may encounter larger crowds and higher prices for accommodations. If you prefer to avoid the crowds, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of May to November, when the weather is still pleasant and there are fewer tourists. However, be prepared for occasional rain showers during this time.
