Macará border crossing – open or closed right now?

Hey, we're heading to the Macará border in a couple of days and getting totally mixed info. Some say Ecuador closed all land borders except Huaquillas back in December, others say Macará is operating normally.

Anyone actually crossed there recently? Don't wanna show up and find it shut. Appreciate any solid info, cheers.

Need onward ticket out of Panama – nothing works, need help

Need onward ticket from Panama – tried everything, nothing works

Flying Wingo Colombia to Panama. They're strict about proof of onward travel. Need a real ticket I can cancel and get actual cash back. Here's what I tried:

Tica Bus – terms say "no reembolsable." Non-refundable. Dead.

Bookaway – found a "Refundable" bus ticket for $322. Support confirmed refund is voucher only, not cash. Dead.

Copa Airlines – Economy Full fare says "REFUND ANYTIME, NO CHARGE." Sounds perfect until you read reviews. People say they deny refunds if you're not a resident of the departure country. Complaints everywhere. Don't trust them.

LATAM – zero passenger flights out of Panama. Checked myself. Dead.

OnwardTicket dummy ticket – Reddit says Wingo actually verifies if it's a real paid ticket. Too risky.

What actually works? Budget: zero loss, or max a few bucks. Anyone got a proven method?
