There are so many things to do in Costa Esmeralda, but venture farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can wander around the greater area at your own speed. Add these awesome drives to your list:

• Head to Arraijan for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Roughly 40 miles from Costa Esmeralda, it's home to lots of inspiring attractions like Bridge of the Americas.
• Approximately 60 miles away, Colon is also a favorite with wanderers. Make time to take in Gatun Locks while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this city.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Panama, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
