A LUXURY VACATION TO PANAMA CITY
Panama City bridges the Americas with its iconic Panama Canal, modern skyline, historic old town, and vibrant culture.
Panama City’s Casco Antiguo (old historic quarter) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with an intriguing maritime history. Wander through leafy cobblestone streets, taking in beautifully crumbling facades and colonial architecture or indulge in fresh ceviche from one of the fantastic local restaurants in the heart of town, or overlooking the bustling fish market, Mercado de Mariscos.
Panama’s new town couldn’t be more different to the old quarter — a mini-Miami with an ever-growing mass of sky-scrapers lining its shores. A
WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN PANAMA
As Panama is so small, you can see almost the whole country in just a short flight. We can arrange private helicopter rides setting off from Panama Vieja to see the ancient town from above and take in the beautiful coastline.
Helicopter is also a great way to travel out to the San Blas Islands for a magical day trip. You’ll feel the sand in your toes in no time.
Back in the city, a visit to the world-famous Panama Canal is a must. Causing international division, political unrest, exploitation of local workers and resulting in hundreds of deaths, the construction of this channel wildly changed the course of Panama’s economy. It has to be seen to be believed as the huge cruise ships pass through the canal seamlessly as vast quantities of water are manipulated through intricate lock systems.
ELSEWHERE IN PANAMA
Panama sits at the crossroads of North and South America, and boasts lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and the engineering marvel that is the Panama Canal. Cultural and ecological diversity beckon.
