In this 12 day and 11 night tour, you will visit:
- Called the 8th wonder, you will visit the Panama Canal, where you will learn more about its constructions and see some of the largest container ships passing from coast to coast.
- The best place to get a glimpse of the beauty of Panama City is at Ancon Hill. A nice easy walk up the hill and you will see the whole city below on one side and the Panama Canal and the magnificent Bridge of the Americas on the other side.
- Casco Viejo, also known as Casco Antiguo or San Felipe, is the historic district of Panama City. Was built after the almost total destruction of the original city of Panamá viejo in 1671. To name a few places, here is where it is located: the Catedral Metropolitana which is the main Catholic temple in the city of Panama, El Palacio de las Garzas, the residence of the President of Panama, many other famous churches such as the Church and Convent of Santo Domingo, known as the flat arch, the National Theater of Panama, the Canal Museum de Panamá, Plaza Bolívar, Plaza Herrera, Plaza de Francia and Plaza de la Independencia.
- Bocas del Toro, a beautiful archipelago lost in time, blessed by nature. It is an example of coexistence and multicultural respect for everyone. Only a few places in the world keep this special, attractive, primitive and unforgettable atmosphere.
- El Valle de Anton, this beautiful city located in the mountains of Panama, on the soil of one of the largest inhabited volcanic craters in the world. Once a crater lake. This tranquil village has become the home of the Indians of the surrounding mountains who have been here for thousands of years.
- Gamboa is home to caimans, crocodiles, iguanas and several hundred species of birds. Considering its location at the end of the road and the single road which connects it to the rest of the canal area, Gamboa is adjacent to large areas of relatively intact tropical forest. A trail that follows an old Pipeline Road is considered one of the best hikes in Panama.
- Portobelo was an important port city where goods and treasures from the Americas were sent to Europe. Portobello is a magnificent example of military architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries, this fort on the Caribbean coast of Panama was part of the defensive system put in place by the Spanish Crown to protect the great transatlantic trade.
- Isla Grande, a beach paradise accessible by boat, undoubtedly has some of the most beautiful beaches in Panama. It is a tropical and picturesque paradise, surrounded by magnificent coral reefs, white sandy beaches and palm trees. It is also possible to walk on the island to see the islands to the north or take a walk to the lighthouse and from above enjoy the incredible view.
- Colon, the 2nd largest free zone in the world, is full of duty-free shops.
- At Fort San Lorenzo, you can simply walk around at your leisure and let your imagination go back in time when pirates dominated the waters of the Caribbean.
- Return to Panama City by the Panama Canal Railway Company. It links one of the most attractive tourist corridors in the world between Colon on the Atlantic coast and Panama on the Pacific.
