Hitchhiking out
North towards Trinidad / East towards Brazil
Collectivos 131 and 61 will take you along Avenida Cotoka, which is full of trucks and petrol stations. Ask to confirm, but I believe that the #104 goes all the way to Peaje Guapilo, which is right on the road out of town, and an excellent spot. The road seperates about 10km beyond Pailon.
Otherwise, since it is fairly cheap, a truffi from the Ex-Terminal in the centre will cost 10B, and go direct to Pailon. Get out as it enters the town, 1 hour, and a good idea.
Places to avoid
Violence is contained in specific barrios, but we aware at night. Central areas are super safe and well policed.
Accommodation and Sleep
Couchsurfing proved a little difficult here, and you can not sleep in the central squares, for that matter, even put your feet up on the benches. The Terminal is safe enough, but closed up at night. Lots of people sleep around there, and there are guards.
Other useful info
Wifi code for the 24 de Septiembre Social Club, on main plaza, is aaafff9999 and be subtle. (Correct as of July 2014)
