Panama City Forum: Wheelchair accessible

Thank you so much for your information. I'm going to Panama for a medical procedure and will be there for two weeks. I will be going Monday thru Friday but my weekends are free. Guess I won't be leaving the hotel too much.

We were in Costa Rica last year, so this sounds pretty similar. Sidewalks very difficult to manuever, better to walk in streets except main ones. Maybe we could at least get to the Canal to at least see it.

It is the same in any third world country.............you should have seen Egypt!

You could definitely do the Visitor's Center at Miraflores that's set up for Wheelchair access, you could do the Amador Causeway - long flat walkway would be ideal with great views of the city and the entrance of the canal...

Cheers,

Andrew

Just wondering if you were going to Panama for Stem Cells? My husband is in a wheelchair and we are scheduled for a trip to Panama this summer. The Torres de Alba was an option we have been given for lodging. Did you stay there and how did it work out for you? Any information will be useful. Thanks
