There’s nothing in Central America like Panama City. This upswing town founded by Spanish Conquistador, Pedro Arias Davila in 1519, on the Pacific coast of the isthmus of Panama has been booming ever since. This city tour, unlike any other, starts before dawn, giving the possibility of enjoying a spectacular SUNRISE off the Pacific Ocean on the Amador Causeway (An artificial peninsula made up of islands connected with dredging material from The Panama Canal construction). Here we’ll also take pleasure in a picnic breakfast with amazing views of the city skyline.

One unique thing we have in Panama City, for a CITY of its size in the tropics with 1.5 million people, is the rainforest right on top of it. A steep 45 min walk on a paved road to the summit of Ancon Hill, will allow you to see how the tropical rainforest with its biodiversity (monkeys, sloths, toucans, agoutis, deer and coatis) embraces a modern metropolis (with 13 of tallest skyscrapers in all of Latin America). All this has to do with how the Canal works. The Miraflores Locks Visitors Center delivers this information. In the observation deck placed above the hundred year old lock gates, you will see the process of vessels being raised using fresh water in minutes.

The museum displays the historical events of the construction and the importance of the protected areas that surround Panama City (the watershed of the canal). Without a doubt a must see in a Panama visit.

​

Our last stop is in Casco Antiguo (or Casco Viejo, the old Spanish colonial quarters) a part of town established after the 1671 Welsh privateer attacks of Sir Henry Morgan on Panama La Vieja. A UNESCO World Heritage Site with beautiful colonial architecture, you’ll not only get a taste of history but also of delicious Panamanian and international cuisine. This will be the place for lunch of your choosing (not included*). We’ll visit historical cathedrals, plazas and walkways with unique views of the Panama City skyline.

​

Enjoy the unique Metropolis with this one of a kind city tour: Experience the city that has never been the same under the sun. The city grasped by nature where towers rise and colonial roots stand. Where north meets south and east meets west.
