Biomuseo

20m

Enjoy a scenic walk through the Biodiversity Park surrounding the iconic BioMuseo, a masterpiece designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry. This outdoor experience invites you to discover native flora, a giant rubber tree, and a traditional quincha house, while taking in breathtaking views of the Amador Causeway and Panama Bay. Tuesday through Sunday, you'll also have the opportunity to relax at the on-site coffee shop, browse unique souvenirs at the gift shop, use the restrooms, and refill your water bottle before continuing the tour. Mondays BioMuseo facilities are Closed. Please note: this visit does not include entry to the interior of the BioMuseo. Coffe Shop and Souvenir Shop are closed on Monday.

Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador) (Pass by)

Enjoy a scenic drive along the Amador Causeway, one of Panama City’s most iconic waterfront routes. Along the way, we share fascinating insights into the area’s military history while you take in breathtaking views of ships navigating toward the Panama Canal. You'll also catch unforgettable views of the majestic Bridge of the Americas — a symbol of connection between continents. It’s the perfect photo opportunity and a moment to truly appreciate Panama’s beauty and strategic importance.

Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Santa Maria the Ancient (Pass by)

Enjoy the incredible architecture and history of our Cathedral and Basilica ... First diocese of the mainland in America and the one that was visited by Pope Francis in January 2019.

Plaza de Francia (Pass by)

Las Bóvedas, also known as Cuartel Chiriquí or more elegantly as La Plaza de Francia, is a place steeped in history, where every corner whispers tales of the past. Here, we pay tribute to the relentless efforts of Pablo Arosemena, a passionate defender of the constitutional laws of the young republic, and the 5th President of Panama (1910-1912). The French influence in the architecture and the legacy of the Panama Canal era blend seamlessly with the rich historical significance of this iconic square, making it a must-see for history lovers.

Casco Viejo

Step into the heart of Panama’s colonial history on a scenic outdoor walking tour through the charming streets of Casco Antiguo. We begin at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Plaza de la Independencia, then stroll along Central Avenue, past the Flat Arch and into Plaza Carlos V. We’ll continue through the iconic Hat Street and end at the majestic Plaza de Francia, where massive stone walls offer breathtaking views of the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal and the Bridge of the Americas. This is a relaxed yet enriching walk through cobblestone streets, historic churches, elegant balconies, and colorful colonial architecture—each corner revealing the city’s layered past. While food and drinks are not included, we highly recommend ending your experience at one of the many rooftop terraces nearby. Whether it's lunch, a cold drink, or just enjoying the views, it's the perfect way to unwind after the tour—at your own pace and expense.
