Tours from Ada Tours

 Arrival in Panama, transfer to the hotel. Free evening. 

The excursion will start at 08:00 and lasts 16:00. Early in the morning, departure to Chagres National Park. After a boat ride along the Chagres River and through the jungle, you will reach a waterfall where a "water challenge" awaits you. Indian guides will give you time to swim in the lake, and then take you by raft to the village of Tusipono. Here, you will be welcomed by a ceremonial orchestra with tambourines and other musical instruments, and then taken to an open "local club" where you can enjoy an indigenous lunch and participate in dances. The Embera Indians are very skilled in wood carving; you can purchase beautiful items made of red wood - koko bolo, small sculptures made of bone nuts, woven baskets made of chunga palm leaves. These people are often called "children of the forest" as they rely on nature rather than modern civilization. After the end of the tour, return to the hotel. 

 In the morning after breakfast, you will have an excursion to the forts of the Caribbean Sea. Fort San Lorenzo has recently been restored, and the Royal Customs House in Portobelo has also been renovated. At 8:00, we will head to the Caribbean coast. Moving to the right side of the canal, we will venture into the San Lorenzo Nature Reserve, where at the edge of the land, on a cliff 25 meters above sea level, stands the majestic Fort San Lorenzo, built by the Spanish in 1596. From here, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Caribbean Sea and the mouth of the Chagres River. The Caribbean coast of Panama, with its beautiful wild beaches, islands, and bays, holds the history of great conquests by conquistadors and daring pirate attacks. The names of Francis Drake, Henry Morgan, Edward Vernon, and other buccaneers are inseparable from the forts of San Lorenzo and Portobelo. To protect their treasures from pirate attacks, King Philip II of Spain ordered to construct a series of forts on the Caribbean coast, most of which have survived to this day: San Lorenzo, San Jeronimo, Santiago de la Gloria, San Fernando, and San Fernandin. In 1980, all the colonial buildings and fortresses of the 17th and 18th centuries on the Caribbean coast of Panama were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The next stop on our itinerary is the city of Portobelo. Here, you will see the fortresses and ruins of San Jeronimo, Santiago de la Gloria, San Fernando, and San Fernandin. The architectural landmarks of Portobelo also include the Royal Customs House and the Church of St. Philip, which is often referred to as the Church of the Black Christ among the people.
