Backpackers Travel - From Puerto Viejo to Bocas del Toro on 07/09/09 by Anat Ben Ami
How to get from Puerto Viejo to Bocas del Toro
A 4 STEPS GUIDE:
1. Puerto Viejo to Sixaola
The best way is to take the bus from the main bus station at Puerto Viejo directing Sixaola.
Find the Buses time table here
When you get off the bus, a few meters walk and you are at the border!
2. Bye bye Costa Rica
First you have to go through the Costa Rican authorities passport check.
While you're standing in line, recommended to fill up a border declaration form requested by the Costa Rican
Make sure you received a stamp so you won't have to walk back with your heavy bag in case the clerk forgot to do so.
3. Welcome to Panama
You have to cross the long old wooden bridge taking you to the Panamanian border passport check.
Make sure you have a flight/bus ticket proving you are leaving Panama as you came.
You can purchase a bus ticket at the ticket box office for 11$
4. From the border to the marine taxi
Here comes the tricky part -
Panamanian drivers and luggage carriers will already jump at you, offering you a taxi on the right side of the road, for 10$ taking you to Almirante (tourists price).
If you bargain, they might lower the price to 5$ each.
If not, you rather take a taxi or a bus, from the left side of the road, to the Changuinola bus terminal, and there a bus to Almirante ($1.20 - 45 minutes).
At Almirante take a marine taxi ($4 - 30 minutes) to Bocas.
Welcome to Bocas Del Toro and Enjoy!!!

hahahahahahah, she look kinda stoned. I guess the Costa Rica - Panama border crossing can do that to you. I wanted to let you all know, that if you take a bus, please make sure these guys dont put your backpack on the roof, cause it rains constantly and we had all our backpacks get wet when we crossed the border.
