    Antonio

    Asked on August 21st, 2025

    I am interested in the Costa Rica and Panama Tour. I would like to know if I can skip Chitré and travel straight from Boquete to Panama City, as I have to be there for a graduation on the 19th of December

    Transport
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025

      You can sign an opt-out letter on the ground and leave the tour in Chitré if you wish. Please note that transportation from Chitré back to Panama City would need to be arranged independently, and there would be no reduction in the trip price for the unused days.
