Panama: need some help

[Traveller]

Does anyone know anything about Panama City. Is there a half way decent travel agent in Panama City? I need a hop from Panama City to Cali. Avianaca online must be high. Check this out.
Tarifa base: USD$590.00
Tarifa+Impuestos: USD$634.00
It costs me $294 on Delta from Fresno to Panama City. Heck, $204 from Fresno to Costa Rica.
So, are there deals posted in travel agent windows for deals to other cities like they do in Ecuador? I remember one promotion from Quito, Ecuador to Buenos Aires R/T with 5 nights at a hotel for USD$560.
Anything anyone can tell me would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
K

$310.00 and, if you take the Bogotá route, there is a free stopover in that city.  When dealing with Avianaca ALWAYS call them direct-you may even get a better price: (800) 284-2622.  COPA offes its flight to CLO of $299.00 USD including taxes. As with Avianca always call direct: 1-800-359-2672.

STOPOVERS  

A FREE STOPOVER IS PERMITTED AT BOG, IF IN ROUTING APPLICABLE TO FARE AND AN ADDITIONAL STOPOVER IS PERMITTED AT BOG. A STOPOVER OCCURS WHEN THE PASSENGER DOES NOT DEPART AN INTERMEDIATE POINT WITHIN 24 HOURS.

I believe Copa Airlines does, which is affiliated with it.

I checked them online too and they want USD$384. I know there will be cheaper fares when I get there and look around.
