Jorge was a great guide. We got to Miraflores before the crush of people, so avoided big crowds. He was knowledgeable about the canal and the various other places we went. It was a great day.

Barefoot Panama does right by it's customers! I was the only person to sign up for a full day city tour and instead of cancelling, they ran it like a private tour. Gonzo, my tour guide, was one of the smartest people I've ever met and has a gift for teaching. I learned so much about Panama's botany, zoology and geology, not to mention philosophy and world politics. What a great human being! Thank you Gonzo.

Full description

A day of fun in cosmopolitan Panama City. See the town that the world built and of course, its famous canal.

Usually, your first stop will be Miraflores Locks and the Panama Canal. Miraflores Locks and the Panama Canal is your next stop. Here you will watch the ships maneuver the canal's locks, learn more about the canal at the museum.

You will visit an artisan market for the best Panamanian-made souvenirs before heading to the Amador for lunch (not included). Then you will take a short nature trail walk in the Punta Culebra's open-air musuem, which is owned by the Smithsonian Foundation of Panama.

Save the best for last with a walking tour of the old town: Casco Viejo. Marvel at its spectacular architecture and learn about the history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You will be back back in your hotel around 16:00, unless you stay in Casco to soak up the rest of the afternoon on your own.

  • Miraflores complete package (viewing points, museum and video entry)
  • Pick-up from most Panama City hotels (surcharge for resorts and the airport area)
  • Entrance to Punta Culebra
