Included Excursions —
You have the following excursions included in this offer.
Old Panama, Casco Antiguo & Chocolate Tour
Panama La Vieja, or Old Panama City in English, is situated just northeast of downtown Panama City. The city was founded by Pedrarias Davila in August of 1519 and is the oldest Spanish settlement on the Pacific. At one time a thriving city, Panama La Vieja benefited from the Portobelo trade fairs and most notably from Spain's excellent bullion lifeline (shipments were said to pass through Panama while en route from Peru's silver mines to Europe). Quickly, the city became a major centre for merchants and landowners, with a population that presumably reached 10,000 by the mid-17th century. Destroyed in 1671 during Sir Henry Morgan's invasion and was relocated approximately 8 km (4.8 miles) to what is today known as “The Casco Viejo”. Declared a Historic Site in 1976, the ruins of Old Panama enjoy government protection, and have been administered by the foundation Patronato Panama La Vieja since 1995. A new Panama Viejo Museum, situated just east of the ruins, has recently been completed and is now open to the public.
Casco Viejo / Casco Antiguo Town
The oldest sector of modern Panama City, founded in 1673, it is known as the Casco Viejo. This beautiful little area has several attractions that tourist shouldn’t miss and can easily cover in a walking tour of a few hours. A monument to the French entrepreneurs who began the Panama Canal stands at the bayside end of the Casco Viejo. There is also an adjacent art museum in the converted strong house, known as Las Bovedas, once used for storing gold. Other points of interest are the famed flat arch or Santo Domingo Church, the beautiful gold-plated altar of the San Jose Church, the Panama Canal Museum, the National Theater, the National Cathedral, the Presidential Palace and other numerous colonial churches and monuments.
Chocolate Tour
On this fantastic tour, you will have the opportunity to learn about the Panamanians culture through the magnificent product of the I Love Panama Chocolate company. It is a resurgence of who they are and their identity - what it is to be Panamanians what they do and how they see themselves. In each bar, you will be told of the history of Panama. The locals love this product and love their land, and this is how they give tribute to both things. This tour consists of a welcome, information about the story behind the brand, tasting of each flavour, and the story, traditions and culture behind each flavour. You will be able to interact by creating your own personalised bars inside the laboratory.
Optional Excursions —
You may choose to add the following excursions at the next stage of the booking process.
Panama Partial Transit
The vessel will travel the Cut's 13.7 kilometers on the way to Pedro Miguel Locks. Before reaching the Pedro Miguel Locks at the southern end of the Cut, you will be able to view the new Centennial Bridge which crosses over the Canal. Next, we will enter Pedro Miguel Locks, which is one of the two sets of locks on the Pacific side, and here the vessel is lowered 9 meters in one step.
You will then enter Miraflores Lake, which is a small artificial body of fresh water that separates Pedro Miguel from Miraflores Locks, the latter being the final set of locks before reaching the Pacific Ocean. At Miraflores Locks the vessel is lowered 18 meters in two distinct steps. Once in the Pacific Ocean the vessel will sail to the beautiful Flamenco Marina where passengers disembark. On the way to Flamenco, you will pass under the Bridge of the Americas, and later, you will be able to admire the Bay of Panama and Panama City's splendorous skyline. The whole experience could take from 6 to 8 hours (according the Panama Canal Authority’s decision), depending on the traffic and the itinerary for that day.
Combo Rainforest Experience
The Gamboa Rainforest Reserve is a hotel characterised by offering its visitors a unique space of contact with nature, and with the support of the APPC, has developed the Sloth’s Sanctuary. This sanctuary has a training program exclusively for the sloths that are found injured by traffic accidents, those who are sick and also orphaned due to forest fragmentation and reduction of their habitat. Visitors will be able to witness the importance of this sanctuary, being that the sloth is in danger of extinction not only in Panama, but throughout the Latin American region and in this way, we can support the recovery of the vulnerable wildlife. The tour includes lunch.
