San Blas has some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve been to anywhere in Latin America. Bocas is pretty too but overran with European backpackers and nomads. If you head up that way you can hit Limon, Costa Rica which is about 4 hours over the border. Very black city, people speak English…feels like you’re in Jamaica
Definitely worth the bus trip
If you hit Colon you gotta go to Isla Grande and Portobelo
Panama is safer than most major US cities. As I’ve said previously in this thread. I walk 10 minutes back to my aunts place from the local bar/discoteca with my iPhone and wallet in my pocket at midnight and I never feel unsafe
Panama City and the provinces of Colon & Bocas are were majority of the blacks are. I don’t know the exact numbers but Panama is very black compared to other Central American countries.
