A private chauffeured day sweeps you across the isthmus to Panama City: the atmospheric cobblestones of UNESCO-listed Casco Viejo, the glittering skyline of a booming financial capital, and a front-row seat at the Miraflores Locks visitor centre to watch megaships navigate the canal.
What to expect
Your guide meets you at the pier and the two-hour highway run to Panama City is itself a journey through Panama's economic story. In Casco Viejo you'll weave through colonial plazas, the ruins of the original cathedral, and the rooftop bar district before reaching the Miraflores Locks. The four-storey observation deck puts you level with the bridge of a Panamax vessel — a perspective you'll never forget. A leisurely lunch at a curated local restaurant follows before the return drive.
