Panama City : locations saisonnières

The Panama Canal Visitor Center in Panama City is open! We will visit the Amador Causeway, a road that connects four small islands on the Pacific, and was made with the excavated materials from the Canal. The Amador Causeway offers stunning views of Panama City skyline and the Pacific entrance of the Canal. Depending on the traffic, I will drive you through the Bridge of the Americas, one of the bridges over The Panama Canal. After crossing the bridge, we will visit a viewpoint, a special spot where you can take pictures of the bridge, the Pacific ports, and the ships. Then, we will stop at the Goethals Monument, a beautiful white Vermont marble structure built to honor George Washington Goethals for his achievements during the Panama Canal construction. Behind the Goethals Monument, you will see the Panama Canal Administration Building, a landmark of the Panamanian history built in 1914. Our next stop is at the Panama Canal Miraflores Locks Visitor Center, where you may see the ships while they pass through the Canal. You will learn about its history, operation and recent expansion. After the tour, you will be driven back to the meeting point.

Disfruta de la experiencia de estar dentro del Canal de Panamá y conocer con todos tus sentidos el funcionamiento, historia y la biodiversidad que lo rodea. Pasaré a recogerle a su casa o alojamiento en la Ciudad de Panamá para dirigirnos hacia la Zona del Canal donde charlaremos sobre la historia del Canal de Panamá a medida que pasamos por distintos lugares, incluso haremos una parada en un punto de observación para ver la operación del Canal y que pueda entender como opera mientras vemos el paso de algún barco. Proseguimos en el auto resaltando varios puntos de interés en el camino hasta llegar al Parque Nacional Soberanía donde tomaremos una bote para ingresar al Canal de Panamá. Allí pasaremos al lado de enormes barcos y experimentará la escala e importancia de esta magnífica obra de ingeniería. Dentro del Canal llegaremos a un grupo de islas en una zona protegida con el fin de avistar tantas especies de animales como sea posible (y hay muchas!!), entre ellos veremos monos, cocodrilos, aves, iguanas, perezosos y otros. Aprenderás sobre los tipos de barcos que pasan por el Canal, identificarás animales y desarrollará su visión para avistarlos. Esta es una experiencia extraordinaria y memorable, completamente en exteriores y que disfrutarás mucho, te espero! Otros aspectos destacables Hay que recordar que no es un zoológico, visitará un hábitat natural, si bien uno de los objetivos es la observación de animales, no es sencillo encontrarlos, haré todo lo posible y con su participación para que podamos observarlos pero algunas pocas ocasiones es posible no encontrar alguna especie.

Experience and Explore the two faces of Panama City: Want something different than a traditional walking tour? Victor Peretz is a passionate local taking visitors off the beaten path in El Chorillo, the forgotten side of Panama City. The poor neighborhood El Chorrillo has a bad reputation and It is widely known for social problems, crimes, violence and former gangs. It is one of the poorest areas in Panama with a population of about 20,000 people. Only 20 years ago, it was a dangerous area, often ruled by gangs. When the government and private investors started seeing the potential of this area. Many of them moved to El Chorrillo, only a stone’s throw away from Casco Viejo. Get off the beaten path with Victor and see where boxer Roberto Duran trained, learn about how the U.S. invasion of Panama affected this neighborhood, try local food and drinks, visit the park where dominoes are played, chat with the locals in their homes & get to know the people of this area, and learn about the gentrification that has taken place in the now trendy Casco Viejo historic district. The Walking Tour through El Chorrillo. Victor's idea is to show tourists the real side of Panama: the local people, their living conditions & culture. He runs the tour under the slogan: "We are more than just a famous Canal - We are People". We will experience some graffitis, cultures and traditions of Panama! Other things to note This is an experience not a tour! We will not have any standard because this is more about exploring as a local and their daily life. If you have any allergies or if you don't drink alcohol, let me know. I want to make your trip special through local food and drinks, so it's very important to know

After the successful and top rated experience ''Visit, understand and TASTE Panama'' (https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/825532) and many requests to open yet another walking tour in the city, I decided to add it in my offer. Without its basic history, it is not possible to understand Latin America. But this tour is not a basic history one, it's about stories you won't be able to find in tour guides. Walking through the streets of Casco Viejo I will explain and show you all the unique things you can see or try in Panama. You will learn Panamanian customs and habits, hear about local culture and their way of life. Welcome to Panama! *If you would like to hear the same story and you would like to complement it with Panama´s local products like a cup of coffee, handmade chocolates and a glass of artisanal rum, I also have an option for you: airbnb.com/experiences/825532
