ATWS 2024 will take place at the Panama Convention Center in Panama City, Panama, strategically located on the Pacific shore of the Canal, on the Amador Causeway.
Panama City is much more than the country's capital. Here, you can bike against a skyline featuring some of the tallest skyscrapers in Latin America, enjoy the Pacific breeze while coasting along the Bay of Panama, stroll amidst archaeological sites and trails, and witness colonial history and nightlife come to life in the same place. Panama City is a destination of high contrast where lush vegetation, indigenous communities, and vibrant city life await you.

You will land at one of the best airports in Latin America and the largest in Central America, serving as the main hub connecting the two Americas; Tocumen International Airport offers a significant advantage for destinations throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
Moving towards Panama City
The Panama airport is located 24 kilometers from the city center.
Hosted participants will be transferred from Tocumen International Airport (PTY) to the hotels and from the hotels to the International Airport. Dates will be announced by the Organizing Committee.
There are also other ways to get to Panama City from Tocumen International Airport:
Taxi or private transfer
The taxi from the airport costs between 30 and 45 dollars, depending on the number of people and the destination within the city (if each passenger is going to a different address within the same area, it is considered a shared trip, and each person pays between 15 and 20 dollars). Taxis are taken in the departure area, and it is always recommended to take an official one.
Panama Metro
The Panama Metro provides a connection between the city center and its main international airport, accepting globally recognized payment methods, thus facilitating the quick use of mass transportation services for visitors entering the country through the Hub of the Americas.
