Panamá Viejo

In the suburbs of present-day Panama City you will find the remains of the original 15th century colonial settlement, one of the first to settle on the American Pacific coast. The archaeological site takes visitors back to the time of the conquest. The ruins of the old cathedral and the rest of the buildings are well preserved enough to imagine the lively history that took place in this space.

Ancon Hill

Enjoy the best panoramic views of both the capital and the Canal from Cerro Ancón, the highest point in Panama City. Here you can also contemplate the true essence of Panama: a city surrounded by nature. Cerro Ancón is a remnant of the eroded core of an ancient volcano that served as a quarry during the construction of the Canal. Today, it is completely covered by rainforest and is home to keel-billed toucans, green iguanas, marmosets, and other amazing animals. The Ancón hill is 199 meters from the base to the top and it takes about 30 minutes on foot to cover it. Once at the top, you can see the old, rebuilt and modern cities, all from a single point, plus you can see the Bay of Panama! At the top you can also see the largest flag in the country, installed in 1979 to celebrate the treaty that returned the Canal Zone to Panama and has been flying there ever since.

Información sobre la ciudad

Portobelo

In the north of Panama, on the beautiful blue shores of the Caribbean, you will find a small town known as Portobelo.

If you look closely, you will see the remains of Spanish colonial fortresses and the last relics of the legacy of this city as the largest Spanish colonial port in Central America, which is why it has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site today. .

Anton Valley

El Valle de Anton is a beautiful mountain town located in the crater of an extinct volcano. Nestled on the mountainside of the Pacific Riviera, a visit to Valle de Anton is the perfect complement to a trip to the beach. Not only is there a lot to do and see there, but you can also beat the heat in the lower regions, as the city is 600 meters above sea level. In Valle de Antón you will find beautiful landscapes, streets full of flowers and lush green mountains. You will also be able to enjoy the air and the freshness of the mountain and temperatures that oscillate between 10 and 25 ºC, which makes the valley the perfect place to walk.

Punta Chame

Punta Chame is a popular windsurfing spot along the Chame Bay in central Panama. Punta is at the end of a long, thin peninsula, bordered by shrimp farms and mangroves. It's only an hour and a half drive from Panama City, making it a popular spot for adrenaline junkies in the city. In a way, this is a place to get away from it all, as there is only one windsurfing school, some accommodations, and a few residences.
