I have been to the Panama Free Zone and found the value to be dubious for us gringos with access to the PX, but hell as far as I know, Panama has kind of turned into one big free zone, but was last in Golfito last when the zone was being built.  If so, would you mind giving us a short paragraph as to whether it is worth it to buy stuff if you live in CR, such as major appliances, TVs, car parts, etc. |

You can't get everything there. It's worth to drive to Golfito if you are looking for a dishwasher, stove or a tv. Liquor is very cheap, too! This is the official site: http://depositodegolfito.com/dlcg/ |

For something like a TV, find a sale one in the States for under $500, and bring it as luggage, and take your $500 tax exemption. Buy eight bottles at the Duty Free store in the Baggage area of Juan santamaria. You have to spend a night in Golfito, if you buy a large item, hire someone to deliver it, and the expenses of traveling to Golfito. Just to save on the taxes. |

This most definitely calls for a cost-benefit analysis. It's a better deal IF you were planning on a day's fishing anyway or maybe a stopover on your way back from Panama on the 3-days-out-of-country thingie. |
