Itinerary

  1. Panama Viejo

    2 hours Admission not included

    Also known as Panamá La Vieja, is the remaining part of the old Panama City and former capital of the country. This is an excellent site to appreciate the historical structures of the first city founded by the Spanish on the Pacific coast.

  2. Mi Pueblito

    2 hours Admission not included

    This little village showcases the prevailing customs, traditions and history of our country. All in one area, you can step inside a typical Afro-Caribbean, peasant and Indigenous house that showcases the main characteristics of these various cultures.

  3. Casco Viejo

    2 hours

    This is the historic district of Panama City, built in 1673 following the near-total destruction of the original Panamá city, Panamá Viejo.

  4. Afro-Antillian Museum (Museo Afro Antillano de Panama )

    one hour Admission not included

    This museum pays tribute to the 30,000-plus black West Indians who made up the vast majority of the Canal’s foreign laborers, many of whom died doing this dangerous work. See reconstructed examples of Afro-Antillanos’ dismal living conditions, photos and artifacts.
