Day 2: City tour “Three cities of Panama”
Full day tour. Panama City was founded in the XVI century by Spanish conquistadors. It was the first Spanish port on the Pacific. Now the capital has three towns: the “old town” (Panamá Viejo), the “colonial” town (Casco Antiguo, Spanish for Old Quarter) and the “new town” (Modern Panama). The Panamá Viejo is an exceptional testimony of colonial town planning; the ruins of its cathedral, convents and public buildings showcase unique technological and stylistic characteristics of its temporal and cultural context; and Old Quarter represents a significant stage in the development of Spanish colonial style. Both Panamá Viejo and Old Quarter have been declared UNESCO World Heritage sites. We will visit old and modern parts of the city, starting from the Former Canal Zone where the Americans lived during the construction of the Panama Canal, and ending with the Balboa Avenue, one of the most beautiful streets of the city along the bay. The historic quarter of Panama City, Casco Antiguo, is a colourful neighbourhood with nice avenues, parks, and squares. You will visit France Plaza, San Jose Church with the famous Golden Altar, Bolivar Plaza, and Cathedral Plaza with the Panama Canal Museum. Then, we will go to Amador Causeway, one of the most interesting parts of the city. It is a long, winding road that connects three smaller islands: Naos, Perico, and Flamenco. Lunch options starting from $25 per person depending on a menu and beverages. Panama Viejo opens Tue – Sun Overnight At Sercotel ½ Twin room BB

Portobelo fortresses and La Angosta beach: The Caribbean side of Panama with beautiful virgin beaches, islands, and bays, will tell you about the history and the conquest of Portobelo. Once a destination for huge amounts of gold and riches extracted by the Spanish from the South America, Portobelo was subject to numerous raids and was highly coveted by notorious pirates such as Francis Drake, Henry Morgan, and Edward Vernon. Trying to save his treasures from the pirates, King Philipp II of Spain ordered a fortress to be built on the Caribbean coast. Some of these forts can be seen nowadays including San Lorenzo, San Geronimo, Santiago de la Gloria, San Fernando, and San Fernandin. In 1980, the ruins of the fortification, along with the nearby San Lorenzo Fort, were declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Portobelo is an old colonial town with rich Afro-Panamanian traditions including delicious Caribbean-style gastronomy. We will tour the impressive sights including San Geronimo, Santiago de la Gloria, San Fernando and San Fernandin forts. Some of Portobello’s favourite tourist attractions are the Royal Customs house and San Felipe Church, also known as the Black Christ Church. Afterwards a nice boat ride will wait for you to overview the fortresses from the bay and visit a beautiful Caribbean beach Playa Blanca and Venas Azules mangroves.

Day 5: Valle de Anton and Hato Viejo agrotouristic farm*
Panama City and the Province of Panama are two different worlds. The capital is known as a fast-growing modern city, and on the province is quiet and calm, very cozy and slow. Anton Valley is an inhabited volcano crater. It is a picturesque town located 750 m above the sea level; it has its microclimate that makes everything here so spectacular. Anton Valley is one of the two inhabited volcano craters in the world. You will visit Central handicrafts, fruits & veggies, and flowers market, El Nispero Botanical Garden & Zoo, the Petroglyph, the Chorro del Macho Waterfall, here we will be able to swim in a natural freshwater pool (we can exchange natural pool with hot springs).
