What to expect
La Calzada de Amador es uno de los destinos más pintorescos y populares de la Ciudad de Panamá. Se extiende por más de 6 kilómetros y conecta el continente con cuatro islas del Pacífico: Naos, Perico, Culebra y Flamenco. Fue construida con rocas excavadas durante la construcción del Canal de Panamá, y ofrece vistas impresionantes del perfil urbano de la ciudad, la entrada del canal y el Océano Pacífico. Es un lugar favorito para caminar, andar en bicicleta, comer y relajarse junto al mar. Uno de los puntos más icónicos para tomar fotos a lo largo de la Calzada es el colorido letrero de "Panamá".
10 minutes
Pedro Miguel Locks
Las esclusas de Pedro Miguel son una de las tres series de esclusas que conforman el Canal de Panamá. Ubicadas en el lado Pacífico, cerca de Miraflores, estas esclusas elevan o descienden los barcos aproximadamente 9 metros (30 pies) mientras transitan entre el Océano Pacífico y el Lago Gatún. Aunque son más pequeñas y menos visitadas que las de Miraflores, Pedro Miguel ofrece una vista cercana de la impresionante ingeniería del canal y, con buen tiempo, la oportunidad de ver enormes embarcaciones atravesando esta vía crucial. Se pueden ver los barcos desde el área de estacionamiento.
15 minutes
Casco Viejo
Plaza de la Independencia, located in the heart of Panama City’s Casco Antiguo (Old Town), is one of the most historic and vibrant squares in the country. It was here in 1903 that Panama declared its independence from Colombia. Surrounded by iconic colonial buildings like the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Interoceanic Canal Museum, and charming cafes, the plaza is a lively hub that captures the essence of Panama’s cultural and historical heritage.
60 minutes
F&F Tower
El edificio F&F Tower, conocido popularmente como “El Tornillo”, es uno de los rascacielos más icónicos de la Ciudad de Panamá. Ubicado en el distrito financiero de Obarrio, esta torre de 52 pisos se destaca por su diseño en espiral único, que simula un tornillo gigante. Su arquitectura moderna lo convierte en un símbolo del desarrollo urbano y la innovación en el país.
