Activity itinerary

Miraflores Visitor Center

1h 30m
Admission ticket not included

At the must-see Miraflores Visitor Centre, you'll witness the engineering marvel of massive ships being raised from the Pacific and lowered when coming from the Atlantic. Your visit also includes a captivating 45-minute 3D documentary, narrated by Morgan Freeman, which traces the Canal's historic construction and its evolution into the modern wonder it is today.

Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador)

Located at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal, this scenic man-made causeway connects three beautiful islands. Originally built as a military defence and breakwater, it is now a vibrant waterfront destination where you can enjoy magnificent views of the city skyline and watch massive ships lining up to enter the Canal.

San Felipe

Discover the historic heart of Panama City in this designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in 1673, this beautifully restored area offers a journey through centuries of history. You'll wander past stunning colonial facades and picturesque plazas as your guide brings the fascinating stories of the past to life

Plaza Tomas Herrera (Pass by)

We will pass by the lively Plaza Herrera, an important historic square dedicated to General Tomás Herrera. Surrounded by beautifully restored colonial facades, it is one of the most vibrant and charming crossroads in the historic district.

American Trade Hotel & Hall (Pass by)

Enjoy scenic views as we pass by the iconic American Trade Hotel. This beautifully restored neoclassic building is one of the most photographed landmarks in the old quarter and stands as a stunning testament to Panama's rich history and architectural revival.

Iglesia de la Compania de Jesus (Pass by)

Take in the sights as we pass by the striking ruins of Iglesia La Compañía de Jesús. Dating back to 1741, the remnants of this former church and convent offer a fascinating glimpse into Panama's colonial era and historic architecture.

Plaza Mayor

We will stop to stroll through Plaza Mayor (also known as Plaza de the Independencia), the historic heart of Casco Viejo. Enjoy a guided walk through this beautiful main square where Panama's independence was declared, surrounded by magnificent landmarks like the Metropolitan Cathedral.

Central Hotel Panamá Casco Viejo

Admire the elegant facade of Hotel Central, famously known as the very first hotel in Panama. Built in 1874, this beautifully restored French-style building once hosted early canal engineers, international diplomats, and even US President Theodore Roosevelt during the Canal's historic construction.

Arco Chato (Pass by)

Look out for the famous Arco Chato (Flat Arch) as we pass by this 17th-century architectural marvel. These historic ruins remained standing for centuries, famously proving Panama's seismic stability to engineers before the construction of the Panama Canal

Plaza de Francia (Pass by)

Admire the elegant Plaza de Francia as we pass by this picturesque square. Dedicated to the French pioneers who first attempted to build the Panama Canal, it features a towering obelisk and historic sea walls (Las Bóvedas) with beautiful colonial charm.
