i suggest asking Uber before, but in the app it says that they will take you.

Driving from the United States to Panama is technically feasible, with an estimated driving time exceeding 60 hours, depending on your U.S. departure point. However, such a journey would require traversing multiple countries, some of which have U.S. Department of State travel advisories at Level 3 (“Reconsider Travel”) due to concerns like crime and civil unrest.

Travel Advisories for Countries En Route:
• Mexico: The U.S. Department of State advises exercising increased caution due to crime and kidnapping in various regions. Violent crimes such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery are prevalent. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services in many areas, as travel by U.S. government employees to certain areas is restricted. 
• Guatemala: The advisory level is at Level 3 (“Reconsider Travel”) due to crime. Violent crime, such as armed robbery and murder, is common. Local police may lack the resources to respond effectively to serious criminal incidents. 
• El Salvador: The advisory level has been updated to Level 2 (“Exercise Increased Caution”) due to crime. While there has been a significant reduction in gang-related activity and associated crime in the last two years, violent crime remains a concern. 
• Honduras: The advisory level is at Level 3 (“Reconsider Travel”) due to crime. Violent crime, such as homicide and armed robbery, is prevalent. The government has limited capacity to address crime in many areas. 
• Nicaragua: The advisory level is at Level 3 (“Reconsider Travel”) due to civil unrest, crime, and limited healthcare availability. Political tensions and demonstrations can occur without notice. 
• Costa Rica: The advisory level is at Level 2 (“Exercise Increased Caution”) due to crime. While generally considered safe, petty theft and other crimes do occur. 
• Panama: The advisory level is at Level 2 (“Exercise Increased Caution”) due to crime. Some areas have increased risk. 

Given the extensive travel time, the necessity to traverse multiple countries with varying safety concerns, and the presence of Level 3 travel advisories, such a journey poses significant risks. It’s essential to consult the U.S. Department of State’s travel advisories for each country on your route and consider alternative travel methods. Due to the potential dangers, I would not recommend undertaking this drive.
