Travelling by ship
The ships (boats) are operating as main means of transport in some parts of the country, especially in Darien or Comarca de Cuna Provinces, and in Bocas del Toro Islands.
Travelling by car
The traffic rules in the country are practically the same as in United States. Main roads are of good quality level, however, the remote roads are of muddy surface.
