What time is it in Panama?

Panama is in the Eastern Standard Time (EST) zone and five hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-5). There is no daylight savings in Panama, so the time difference with U.S. destinations changes by an hour during daylight savings. Panama is also always one hour ahead of Costa Rica.
