Free walking tour through the Old Town of Panama.

The Old City or Casco Viejo is the name given to the place where the city of Panama was relocated in 1673. This city, designed in a grid pattern 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 village of San Felipe. In 1997, the Old City of Panama was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Important: As this is a shared tour, the language of the tour adapts to the participants of each departure. The tour can be conducted in Spanish, in English, or in a bilingual format (Spanish and English), depending on the languages of the travelers who have booked that day.

Note: it is very good to bring a poncho or an umbrella in case of rain, sunscreen, and always water to stay hydrated, the weather in Panama is unpredictable, it is also good to bring a copy of your passport on your mobile with the 'entry to Panama' stamp. If you take any medication, bring it or tell the guide that you need to take medication X at a certain time, a prudent person is worth two!
