Are good Panama hats available in San Pedro?

Try Merida, Mexico if you have some extra time. It is so beautiful and inexpensive.

No, Panama hats (particularly good ones) are only available in Panama. And Jersey, I hear. Belikin Beanies, on the other hand, are of the highest quality on AC and are readily available almost everywhere. Pedro Pork Pie hats are nearly as popular but are a bit more elusive to all but the savviest shoppers. San Pedro Skimmers are available only during election years but are highly sought-after by collectors. The venerable Turneffe Toque experienced a short-lived but colorful burst of popularity at Crazy Canuck's but, after a full year of no temperatures under 60 degrees, fell from popularity and has not reappeared.

Hope this helps!

found awesome quality Panama's in a little Indian village off the beaten track in Northern Ecuador, priced around $175 and up if memory serves correct. The entire village was a "hat making" village selling their wares all around the world, which is probably where those "Jersey" hats came from.
