Discover Panama: The Bridge of the World and Your Next Essential Adventure

If you are looking for a destination that seamlessly blends modern skyscrapers, historic colonial charm, and untouched tropical rainforests, Panama is your ultimate choice. Often called the "Bridge of the World," Panama offers the unique opportunity to experience the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on the very same day.

To ensure your journey is as smooth as the ships passing through the canal, staying connected is vital. Here is why abesteSIM is your perfect travel companion for exploring this Central American gem.


📍 Must-Visit Destinations in Panama

1. The Panama Canal – A Modern Marvel

No trip to Panama is complete without visiting the Miraflores Locks. Watching 100,000-ton vessels being lifted through the lock system is a bucket-list experience.

  • The abesteSIM Edge: Live-stream the transit to your friends and family back home. While the Canal area has complex topography, abesteSIM connects to top-tier local operators, providing a stable signal for high-quality video.

2. Casco Viejo – The Soul of Panama City

This UNESCO World Heritage site is a maze of colonial architecture, trendy rooftop bars, and boutique coffee shops. It is the most Instagrammable spot in the city.

  • The abesteSIM Edge: Use Google Maps to navigate the narrow alleys without lag. Our high-speed 4G/5G data ensures you never get lost while looking for that hidden "Geisha coffee" cafe.

3. San Blas Islands – Pristine Caribbean Paradise

Owned by the Guna indigenous people, this archipelago consists of 365 islands. It’s the definition of "getting off the grid"—but you don’t have to be out of touch.

  • The abesteSIM Edge: Even on remote islands, abesteSIM provides the widest possible coverage, giving you peace of mind and the ability to stay in contact in case of emergencies.


🌐 Why Choose abesteSIM for Your Panama Trip?

In Panama, purchasing a local physical SIM card can be a hassle, often requiring long queues and complex registration processes. abesteSIM is designed for the modern traveler:

  • No eKYC Required: Local Panamanian regulations often require identity verification for prepaid cards. With abesteSIM, you can skip the paperwork. No eKYC or ID upload is needed, protecting your privacy and saving you hours of time.

  • Instant Activation: Purchase your plan online, and receive your QR code via email instantly. You can install it before you even board your flight.

  • Flexible Data Plans: Whether you need a Daily 1GB plan or a Total Data bundle, we offer transparent pricing that is far more affordable than international roaming.

  • Smart Activation Policy: Our plans only activate once you connect to a supported network in Panama. We recommend installing the eSIM before departure and turning it on only once you land.


🎒 Quick Travel Tips for Panama

  • Currency: Panama uses the US Dollar (USD), making it very convenient for international travelers.

  • Timing: The dry season (December to April) is the best time for beach hopping in San Blas.

  • Connectivity: After purchasing your abesteSIM, keep a screenshot of your QR code. Once you land at Tocumen International Airport (PTY), simply scan and connect.
