Entdecken Sie Panama: Kultur, Geschichte und Strände

Our first destination is the historic Casco Antiguo, a cultural gem designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This neighborhood reflects Panama's rich cultural diversity, blending Caribbean, Republican, modern, French, and colonial styles across fewer than 800 buildings. Here, you can visit some of the city's main landmarks, such as the Bolívar Hall, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the National Theater (founded in 1908), the Las Bóvedas monument, La Merced Church, San Felipe Neri Church, and San José Church with its iconic golden altar, rescued from Panamá Viejo and relocated to the new city. Strolling through its cobblestone streets feels like traveling back in time, surrounded by the area's rich history and vibrant local culture.

We continue our tour at the iconic Panama Canal, specifically at the Miraflores Locks. The Miraflores Visitor Center is the perfect place to learn about this engineering marvel. Here, you can explore its history, understand its operations, and observe up close the transit of ships and the work of the locks. The center features a fully equipped theater, observation terraces, snack bars, a restaurant with panoramic views, a souvenir shop, and exhibition halls with interactive displays, historical pieces, models, and items used in the canal's operations. Admission to the Visitor Center is included.

Start your day with a land transfer from Panama City to Puerto Cartí, where we will board a boat to explore the crystal-clear waters of San Blas. This San Blas tour offers the perfect escape from reality, allowing you to disconnect and enjoy the natural beauty of this archipelago. With its pristine waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant marine life, our first stop is Isla Perro Chico, famous for its sunken ship. Here, you can snorkel and marvel at the vibrant marine life and colorful coral gardens surrounding the wreck.

Next, we’ll visit the picturesque Isla Niadub, where you can soak in the tranquility and natural beauty of this tropical paradise. Relax on its white sandy beaches and swim in its crystal-clear waters. Finally, we’ll explore a natural pool, a sandbank in the middle of the sea where you can observe starfish in their natural habitat. This unique experience allows you to swim in shallow waters, surrounded by endless shades of blue and turquoise.

Your adventure begins with an exciting journey in a piragua, a traditional hand-carved canoe. Glide through winding rivers surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, observing wildlife and enjoying the serenity of the environment. This transfer offers you a unique perspective of the pristine nature surrounding the community.

Before reaching the community, we’ll stop at a breathtaking waterfall. Embark on a short jungle hike to arrive at this natural paradise. Enjoy the scenic beauty of the surroundings and feel the refreshing spray of the waterfall as you relax in this idyllic setting.

Upon arriving at the community, you’ll be warmly welcomed by members of the tribe. The sound of drums and flutes will accompany you as you immerse yourself in the authentic and magical atmosphere of Emberá culture.

During your visit, the Emberá will share their deep knowledge of medicinal plants and other natural remedies. Emberá women are true artists, renowned for their skills in crafting beautiful baskets and other handmade items from palm leaves, dyed with natural pigments. Watch the process of creating these unique pieces, and if you wish, purchase some as souvenirs of your visit.

You’ll also have the chance to experience the tradition of body painting with jagua, a natural dye extracted from a fruit that the indigenous people use for both body decoration and healing purposes.

Traditional Emberá Lunch Included, this meal will allow you to savor the authentic cuisine of the community and share a moment of connection with its members.
