From Cali to Panama City to Salinas, Equador

Over the holidays I will be visiting Cali. I have about 20 days. Thats where my Novia lives. Then we want to go to Panama. Fly there. My plan is to stay at this cheap hotel I know of for a few days, get a rent a car, and drive around. Do's anybody have any thoughts on some interesting and nice places to visit? Both coasts and up in the mts. I was wondering if you can get a boat from someplace in Panama, that will take you to say Salinas, or sometown nearby in Equador. Any contact info would be appreciated. Heard of the Darien Gap. Don't want to do that. Then after the stay in Equador fly back to Cali.

Why rent a car? It's so much easier to use taxis, especially in Panama.

Who wants to pay for a cab going from coast to coast. Then up to the mts. Back and forth from spot to spot in the countryside? Where I plan on going it might be tough to get a cab.
