Description
Walk through the colonial churches of UNESCO-listed Casco Antiguo, visit the Panama Canal, and browse local artisan crafts on a 5-hour guided tour with hotel pickup.
Step beyond the typical Panama City tour with a guided walk through the colonial churches of Casco Antiguo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This 5-hour experience begins with a visit to the Panama Canal, one of the world's greatest engineering feats. At the Visitor Center, you can watch an IMAX movie that brings the canal's remarkable history to life. From there, head to a local artisan market where you can browse and purchase handmade Panamanian crafts. Next, take in the views along the Amador Causeway, a scenic road connecting small islands at the Pacific entrance of the canal. The tour's centerpiece is a certified-guide-led walk through Casco Antiguo, Panama City's historic quarter, where you visit 5 to 6 of the district's main colonial churches, each reflecting centuries of architectural heritage. With round-trip hotel transport, water, and snacks included, this is a complete half-day immersion into Panama City's past and present. Available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
