Panama City City Tours

Panama Viejo Ruins Tour
The first city founded in the isthmus by the Spanish. Passing through Altos Del Golf, an up market residential neighborhood, we continue on to visit Casco Antiguo, the colonial city of Panama . The architecture of this area is exquisite and includes French, Italian and Spanish styles. Here you will see the Golden Altar, also home to the “Flat Arch”.
We will also take a panoramic look of the modern city from this vantage point where you can also see the ships that are anchored in the bay awaiting their turn to transit the canal.
Our final stop will be at the Miraflores Locks where you will experience the operation of the Panama Canal at first hand and enjoy an audiovisual presentation that describes how ships pass through this engineering wonder.

Chagres River Indigenous Community
This fascinating, authentic cultural excursion starts early in the morning. A short bus ride takes us to our starting point within the Tropical Rainforest of the Chargres National Forest . Then we will take motorized dugout canoes up the Chagres River where we will meet the passionate and friendly people of the Embera-Drua community and learn about their indigenous culture and traditions. We will lunch in their typical thatched huts.
You will also have the chance to take a tour with the “Medicine Man” who will explain the use of plants as natural medicines. The Embera Indians are master artisans in Panama , known for their fine baskets and high quality woodcarvings. In addition to crafting objects for sale, skilled woodcarving has many traditional uses in the Embera culture, including fabricating hunting weapons, canoe, paddles, household furnishing and ceremonial objects.
