Climate & travel - time

Panama has, like other countries in Latin America, a dry and a rainy season. The locals call these seasons summer and winter.

In the rainy season, of course, it is raining. It sometimes rains in the dry season as well, but not as frequently. The rain is very different than you might expect it. It is warm and it mostly rains only in the afternoon, meaning that you are not necessarily affected by it, if you are willing to start your day early. The result of the large amount of rain is that the rivers have a lot more water, all of the plants are green and the air is fresh.

In general, Panama is a country you can visit at any time year. For the rainy season might just you need more equipment. We are happy to give more information and help you with planning your journey.
