In Costa Rica, Paso Canoas is the third district of the canton of Corredores, in Puntarenas Province (in the Brunca region in the south of the country).

In Panama, it belongs to the corregimiento of Progreso, in Barú District, Chiriquí.

Because the city is located in a border region, trade is very important for the inhabitants of the area.
