Itinerary

1. Discover the Wonders of Panama City

   • After morning pickup from central Panama City hotels, your full-day tour begins at the Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal.

   • Tour the facility with your local guide, learn about the locks' history, and watch ships raised and lowered between sea level and Miraflores Lake.

   • Visit the Miraflores Visitor Center, a museum where displays and exhibits help tell the story of the incredible feat of engineering that is the Panama Canal.

   • Stroll through a local artisan market, where your guide will tell you about Panama City’s market culture.

   • Shop for local handicrafts, if you wish, to take them home as souvenirs or gifts for friends.

   • Head south into Panama Bay, travelling down the Amador Causeway, a palm-lined road that runs across the sea, offering a great view of the Bridge of the Americas and connecting the mainland to three small islands. The area is lively dining, entertainment and activity district where you will have free time to get lunch at one of the many restaurants at the end of the causeway. 

   • After lunch, drive through the modern city and enjoy a panoramic view of the old city.

   • Finally, visit your last destination of the day, the historic neighbourhood of Casco Viejo (meaning ‘Old Quarter’), dating back to the 1670s.

   • Embark on a 1.2-hour walking tour through the World Heritage-listed district with your guide, who will point out important landmarks and tell you little-known facts that you probably won’t read in your guidebooks.

   • Get startled by the elegance of its main sights like Metropolitan Cathedral, the Palacio de las Garzas (the residence of the President of Panama), the Church of St Francis of Assisi and the National Theatre.

   • Your day tour ends with a return to the hotel.
