Question
Hi,I would like to know if there is a hotel that is in walking distance of the free zone.What do you need to get in and how can I get a list of companys in the free zone.Thank you for your help

Answer
Dear Charmon,
I was in Colon 3 weeks ago and did not see a hotel nearby... even if there were I would not recommend walking outside the Colon Free Zone.
Colon City - according to recent statistics (crime rate vs population) - is one of the most dangerous cities in this hemisphere.
In regards to a directory site, you can always try:

Good luck

Expertise

I can answer questions regarding Panama, its people, culture, places to visit, places to watch out for, hotels to stay, how much your taxi fare should be... specific information on getting around on a safe manner.

Experience

I was born and raised in Panama, educated in American schools. Since I enjoy all related to Panama history, I try to keep myself updated on local happenings in the subject. I also enjoy traveling and the internet seems a wonderful tool to use, specially when you are your own guide (which I usually am)- so I am just willing to give some of the help I have received back.
