    Never done it in that direction.

    Just head up through Peru towards the Peru-Ecuador border. I found the easiest and most hassle free crossing was in La Tina crossing into Macara. The coastal crossing at Tumbes can be a bit of an experience. Just have your wits about you and you'll be grand. Don't accept dollars from people on the street. They'll be most likely fake. And don't let anyone other than an official help you with paperwork.

    You can then always fly from Quito to Panama City. It's only a little less than 2 hours flying time. Or if you wanted to go up through Colombia you can always fly from Cartagena to Panama City. As far as i remember the name of a cheap airline is called Aires. Don't think they have a website though.

    Crossing by land can be done but is really dangerous. You'd have to cross thorugh an area called the darian gap. It's occupied by drug trafficers and paramilitaries.
