safe even for iguanas to walk

Enough a Quiet Country

Panama was given one of the highest ranking for tourist safety from the Pinkerton Intelligence Agency. But as with any foreign destination, it is not advisable to walk around the streets flashing your money or valuable belongings.

Panama is probably safer than where you live now. Recently, a government study on crime in Latin America found Panama with a lower crime rate than Costa Rica, which is typically thought as the safest Latin American country to travel to.
Some neigbourhoods as El Chorrillo, San Miguel or San Felipe are not safe for walk alone.
