Panama is safe

Panama is the fourth safest country in the Western Hemisphere and the 56th safest country in the world, according to the 2020 Global Peace Index of 163 countries. In the Western Hemisphere, only Canada, Uruguay, and Chile are regarded safer.

Traveling in Panama with your family or by yourself as a woman is absolutely safe. Just keep in mind the usual safety measures. Panama is a very gorgeous nation worth visiting, and it is far safer than Costa Rica and Colombia. However, it is not without risk. You can avoid being a victim of crime if you keep your wits about you and avoid well-known risk zones.

There are, however, certain precautions to take for you to stay safe. Keep your belongings near at hand; close your bags and carry them on your front at all times; mobile phones and wallets should never be carried in your back pocket. At all times, you must have a valid form of picture identification with you. Make sure you have one with you, or at the very least a duplicate of your passport and the page with your entrance stamp, so the cops have no cause to bother you.
