What is Panama's time zone?

Panama is on Eastern Standard Time (EST) and does not adhere to daylight savings time. This being the case, Panama is five hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Panama is also always one hour ahead of Costa Rica. Take note of this when crossing the border between the two countries.
