Travel to the Darien province should be conducted only with an organised group, and to recognised tourist destinations protected by the Panamanian police.
There are sporadic demonstrations in Panama City about various social and political issues. Since 12 February 2008, there have been violent demonstrations occurring throughout Panama City and other parts of the country. This is the result of the shooting and death of a construction worker by the Panamanian Police. Travellers should avoid all demonstrations and construction sites and monitor local media for up to date information.
If transiting the USA on the way to Panama, you must have a machine-readable passport or a valid US non-immigrant visa.
Travellers should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
