Tour description

The Old City or Casco Viejo is the name given to the place where the city of Panama moved in 1673. This city, designed in a reticular way towards the four cardinal points, was characterized by the agility of its streets and shutters, which was worthy of being considered a classic model of an Indian city. It is located on a small peninsula, surrounded by a mantle of rocky cliffs, within the current hamlet of San Felipe. In 1997, the Old City of Panama is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Recommendations:
Biosecurity issues must also be maintained, such as always wearing a mask, a distance of 2 meters at some stops, physical contact is not visible.

Note: it is very good to bring a poncho or a cape in case of rain, sunscreen in case of sun and always water to hydrate, the weather in Panama is unpredictable, it is also good to bring a copy of your passport on your mobile with the stamp of ' entry to Panama and also the QR code of your vaccination card or a photo of it, if you take any drug bring it or tell the guide that you have to take the drug X at a certain time, a prudent person is worth x two!
