Guabito is a town in the Changuinola District of the Bocas del Toro Province of Panama.^[1] It is a small town located directly across the Rio Sixaola from Sixaola, Costa Rica. An elevated former railroad grade and bridge connects Guabito to Sixaola.^[2] This border crossing is popular with tourists going between Costa Rica and Bocas del Toro.^[3] Guabito is one hour ahead of Sixaola because the Costa Rica-Panama border is also a time zone boundary.^[2] Few tourists stop in Guabito longer than necessary to clear Panamanian customs.^[2]
