Highlights
  • Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador) - 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.
  • Ancon Hill - 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 35 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).
  • Miraflores Visitor Center - The Miraflores Locks Visitors Center is the main source of information about the canal. In the observation deck placed above the hundred year old lock gates, you will see the process of vessels being raised using fresh water. 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.
  • Casco Viejo - Our last stop is in Casco Antiguo (or Casco Viejo, the old Spanish colonial quarters) a part of town that has seen SUNRISE since 1671 after the Welsh privateer attacks of Sir Henry Morgan on Panama La Vieja (where the city was originally founded in 1519). 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

An enjoyable and educational experience. - This was an amazing day spent with Genesis and John. It started with a beautiful sunrise view on the scenic Amador Causeway and progressed to a spectacular hike in the Metropolitan Natural Park. I very much enjoyed the jungle with the many different species of wildlife and a breathtaking panoramic view of the modern Panama City skyline. We toured the canal with the impressive lock system. My guides were very knowledgeable about the eco-system and well-versed in the history of this fascinating country. While touring the old city, they went above and beyond in their willingness to make this experience a memorable day excursion.

Awesome Tour. Would not hesitate to use him again. - My favorite part of the tour was watching the sunrise. It was so peaceful sitting by the ocean. John my tour guide selected the perfect place. The entire tour was exceptional. John is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and wanted to make sure I was satisfied. And I was. Loved his enthusiasm.

Panama - Beautiful views of the Panama city, canal and old town. John narratives make this experience more then interesting. I liked background stories about places we were visiting and details on how canal works.
