Excursion Panama city and the canal tour at Colon

While the image conjured by Panama is generally that of the spectacular Canal, few know of the amazing history of glory and tragedy that came to shape this country, once known as the Pearl of the Pacific. Discover a deeper history on today's tour of the Panama Canal and a guided walk of Colonial Panama.

Transfer from the pier 75 minutes to your first stop at Miraflores Locks, taking this opportunity to pause and view the gargantuan ships that make their way through the Panama Canal. Visit the four exhibition halls, organized by themes that constitute the heart of the Miraflores Visitors Center.

Drive 30 minutes to explore Colonial Panama on a walking tour. On this scenic excursion walk through the streets of the Old French Quarter of Panama City, founded in 1673 by French colonists. As you make your way along the coastline to El Casco Antiguo, take the opportunity to discover the tales of Gallantry and Piracy that wait in the narrow streets of Colonial Panama known as Casco Antiguo. On a leisurely 60-minute walk, appreciate the many changes of the city by viewing its unique architecture, influenced by a wonderful blend of French, Spanish and Italian styles.
