Good to know about the time in Panama
Panama is on UTC−5 all year round, with no daylight saving time, like Colombia: it is 6 hours behind France in winter and 7 hours behind in summer. Time in Panama City
The Panama Canal links the Atlantic to the Pacific from north-west to south-east: because of the shape of the isthmus, its Pacific end lies further east than its Caribbean end. Neighbouring Costa Rica is 1 hour behind Panama.
