Elevated official travel advice
Avoid the Darién Gap beyond Yaviza and Mosquito Gulf
Australia advises against all travel to the Darién Gap beyond Yaviza and to the Mosquito Gulf because of violent crime, while advising a high degree of caution elsewhere in Panama. Norway advises general caution. This edition excludes those two areas. Check current security and weather advice, use registered operators and daylight transport, and confirm protected-area and boat access before booking.
