to hitch a boat get to the san cristobal marina in colon, boat hitching is never easy so be prepared to wait days or weeks. there are 2 marinas (including balboa marina) in panama city but chances for colombia are lower. on both sides many boats go to south pacific and you also may get a ride through the canal as linehandler.
to get to the marinas in panama city take minibus from plaza 5mayo toward amador and hitch back.
in places east of colon like portobello you find payboats (280$)

[[panama city]] going west: the panamericana on the western end of panama lies right next to el chorillo wich is the most dangerous part of the city. it would be advisable to take a bus past el chorillo and then you are almost at la puente de las americas, a meaningful place to hitch.
towards colon. from av 12/santa ana park you can catch a bus "transistmica" which leaves the city on the road to colon. after 20km or so you will hit the intersection with the panama city highway. be careful in colon.

There are borders with [[Costa Rica]] in the North and [[Colombia]] in the South. But there are no roads to [[Colombia]]. There is a way to go through the jungle, but it's extremely dangerous, due to the Colombian 'guerillas'.
