Itinerary

Miraflores Visitor Center

2 hours Admission not included

The tour at the Miraflores Visitor Center offers a fascinating experience to get up close and personal with the workings of the Panama Canal. During the visit, you'll be able to watch the huge ships transit through the Miraflores Locks, where the water level is raised or lowered to allow the ships to pass. The Center also has a theater where you can watch an Imax film documented about the historical construction of the canal and its economic importance. In addition, there is an observation deck with a spectacular panoramic view and, in some cases, you'll be able to see the ships crossing in real time.
Bridge of the Americas

30 min

A visit to the Bridge of the Americas in Panama is an impressive experience, as it is one of the most emblematic structures in the country. This iconic bridge connects North America to South America, crossing the Panama Canal. From there, you get panoramic views of the canal, the Pacific Ocean and Panama City. It is an ideal place to appreciate the magnitude of this engineering work and its importance for global trade.
Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador)

30 min

The Amador Causeway in Panama is a popular tourist spot that connects Panama City to four small islands: Naos, Perico, Culebra, and Flamenco. It offers stunning views of the city skyline and the Bridge of the Americas, as well as the Panama Canal.

It is an ideal place to walk, bike, enjoy waterfront restaurants, and relax in outdoor areas. You can also take a photo with the famous Panama sign.
Casco Viejo

2 hours

Panama's Casco Viejo is one of the most iconic areas of the city, full of history, culture and colonial architecture founded in 1673 by the Spanish. As you walk through its cobblestone streets, you can enjoy picturesque squares, we will visit churches such as the Mercy Convent and Museums like Molas. You will admire restored historic buildings that today house restaurants, bars, and boutiques. The contrast between old and new, with stunning views of the city skyline, makes for a unique experience. It is an ideal place to explore both day and night, with a vibrant nightlife and a rich gastronomic offering.
