I plan on going to central america (costa rica). Is there a bus service that would take me to Panama?

Question

I want to do a backpacking trip through central america. I dont know if its too dangerous to drive through central america, so i wanted to know if there is a bus service between central american countries. i figure i can fly into costa rica and then visit panama or nicaragua.

Answer 1

Hi, I live in El Salvador, and of course all centroamerica has bus service between the countries...As you can see in maps..the place is really small. I would recommend you to see the Tourist web of every country..and you can find differents bus services.

Have a nice trip!!

Answer 2

Busses run to both countries.  The TICA bus goes to Managua and to Panama city but there are also other busses that go to the border and you can take another bus from there.

Answer 3

Yes, they have international buses.  You can take the TICA bus to Managua or to Panama.  I don't recommend driving your own car there, but we rented a car in Costa Rica and didn't have any problems.
