Description:

Take a closer peek at the iconic Panama Canal—a 48-mile (77-k) ship channel that took more than 60,000,000 pounds of dynamite to construct. This guided walking tour covers serious ground—wandering from oceanside feats and Cerro Ancon’s vistas, to markets and UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Meet your expert guide and embark on the ultimate Panama City adventure. First up: the Miraflores Locks. Located in the legendary Panama Canal, this impressive man-made exploit connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Gaze over ships as they steer for open seas, and hear the engineering stories that came with the canal’s success.

Continue on to Cerro Ancon, a giant hill offering incredible views of the city, before heading to a local artisan market. While you peruse the bustling stalls stocked with handicrafts, hear about Panama’s market culture—even snag a couple souvenirs for friends back home.

A visit to Amador Causeway—a road that connects the mainland with four mid-Pacific islands—ensures stunning scenery, while a stopover at the Smithsonian-owned Punta Culebra is perfect for a nature walk.

Next, travel to the district of Casco Viejo. Deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this historic, colorful area was built in 1671, following the near-complete destruction of the original city. Walk the streets, admire the eclectic architecture, and hear about the region’s legends, before returning to your hotel.
