What is needed to cross over the border into Panama south of Golfito? We are just planning a trip for a few days and are not sure what is involved in doing that. Also, has anyone ever taken a dog?
Taking the dog may complicate things more than you want to deal with. We have never taken a pet into Panama so I can’t say for sure about that. It is relatively easy to bring one into Costa Rica. As far as traveling into Panama at the southern border, that is very simple. You simply need to have your passport. Panama requires you to purchase a tourist card for $5. The only issue as you come back into Costa Rica is you may have to show proof of plane ticket, itenerary, etc. of a trip back out of Costa Rica within the next 90 days. On the Caribbean side they simply require you to go into the pharmacy a short distance from the immigration station and purchase for $5 something I can only describe as a phony ticket. We have done the Panama crossing at the Caribbean side 7 or 8 times.
