but I fly Oct. 27 out of Panama Tocumen airport on COPA CM 685 to Pereira in late afternoon . On your first trip down , it is good to have someone along to walk you through the entry process . In Panama you are fine with just English . Much less so in Pereira .
That hotel site link I provided indicates room ( actually more like a one room loft/suite ) rents for roughly $60 a night if reserved a week in advance . Comments by guests indicate that it is a nice clean place .
I don’t know where you are coming from , but COPA flights originate from over a dozen major US and Canadian cities. If you are interested , and it would help to travel from Panama on the same flight , let me know and I can meet you in the departure lounge in Panama .
However , as I say , this is very short notice for arranging the flights , and if you are still working to get time off , etc.
I travel down at least twice a year , so it does not have to be this time .
Great music by Gal Holiday ! Thanks for posting that .
