How to travel from Costa Rica to Panama:
Option 1: “More Time, Less Money” BUS – An 8-hour daily bus ride from San Jose, Costa Rica with the Tracopa Bus Company. $21 each way. Advanced reservations are not necessary, however it is a good idea to buy your ticket the day before, and you can only buy your tickets at the Tracopa Bus Station counter. Bus departure times are usually 7:30am and 12noon, but double check with Tracopa each day.
The ride will go through the Costa Rica – Panama border town, where you will need to get off the bus, get your exit stamp at the immigration window, walk about 100 meters towards Panama, get your entry stamp at the Panama immigration window, have your luggage searched, and get back on the bus. The process can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours or more. When entering Panama, the immigration officer may ask for $500 cash, credit cards, bank statements, and proof of an exit flight out of Panama. If you are missing something, they may not let you enter and you could get stuck at the border. When back on the bus, it will be 1 hour more until you arrive in David. Don’t forget to change your clock as there is a 1 hour time difference between Panama and Costa Rica. The last bus from the David bus station to Boquete is around 9:30pm so be sure to catch one before they stop service.
