Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel at a time that suits you best. From there, we will travel to the historic area of Panama City. Established by Spanish settlers in 1673, this remarkable site has earned its World Heritage Site designation due to its significance as a colonial gem of the Pacific.

Our first stop will be at the Plaza de Independencia, where we will visit the iconic Cathedral Santa Maria la Antigua. Continuing our exploration of Panama City's colonial history, we will also tour several key churches, including the Church of La Merced and the Church of San José.

The old town boasts numerous picturesque squares, allowing you to witness the daily lives of local residents. We will visit the Plaza de Francia to take in its stunning obelisk. Following this, our path will lead us to Plaza Herrera, a site where bullfights were a popular spectacle in the 19th century. We'll then proceed to Plaza Simón Bolívar, which commemorates the 1926 centenary of the Amphictyonic Congress of Panama.

Pursuing the historical narrative further, Panama City is home to one of the most significant engineering triumphs: the Panama Canal. To uncover its storied past, we will take a guided visit to the Interoceanic Canal Museum, situated in the Plaza de la Independencia. This visit will delve into the notable construction of the canal in the 19th century and its transition from the United States to Panama in 1977.

After immersing ourselves in the colonial history of Panama City for approximately two hours, we will conclude our tour and return to your hotel.
