Vacation rentals in Panama

The Panama Canal Visitor Center in Panama City is open! We will visit the Amador Causeway, a road that connects four small islands on the Pacific, and was made with the excavated materials from the Canal. The Amador Causeway offers stunning views of Panama City skyline and the Pacific entrance of the Canal. Depending on the traffic, I will drive you through the Bridge of the Americas, one of the bridges over The Panama Canal. After crossing the bridge, we will visit a viewpoint, a special spot where you can take pictures of the bridge, the Pacific ports, and the ships. Then, we will stop at the Goethals Monument, a beautiful white Vermont marble structure built to honor George Washington Goethals for his achievements during the Panama Canal construction. Behind the Goethals Monument, you will see the Panama Canal Administration Building, a landmark of the Panamanian history built in 1914. Our next stop is at the Panama Canal Miraflores Locks Visitor Center, where you may see the ships while they pass through the Canal. You will learn about its history, operation and recent expansion. After the tour, you will be driven back to the meeting point.

Enjoy the experience of being inside the Panama Canal and knowing with all your senses the operation, history and biodiversity that surrounds it. I will pick you up at your home or accommodation in Panama City to go to the Canal Zone where we will talk about the history of the Panama Canal as we pass through different places, we will even make a stop at an observation point to see the operation of the Canal and that we can understand how it operates while we see the ships crossing. We continue by car highlighting several points of interest on the way until we reach the Soberanía National Park where we will take a boat and get into the Panama Canal. There we will pass by huge ships and experience the scale and importance of this magnificent feat of engineering. Inside the Canal we will arrive at a group of islands in a protected area in order to see as many species of animals as possible (and there are many !!), among them we will see monkeys, crocodiles, birds, iguanas, sloths and others. You will learn about the types of ships that pass through the Canal, you will identify animals and develop your vision to spot them. This is an extraordinary experience and memorable, completely outdoors and you will enjoy it a lot! Other things to note You have to remember that it is not a zoo, you will visit a natural habitat, although one of the objectives is to observe animals, it is not easy to find them, I will do everything possible and with your participation so that we can observe them but on very few occasions it is possible not to find some species.

Experience and Explore the two faces of Panama City: Want something different than a traditional walking tour? Victor Peretz is a passionate local taking visitors off the beaten path in El Chorillo, the forgotten side of Panama City. The poor neighborhood El Chorrillo has a bad reputation and It is widely known for social problems, crimes, violence and former gangs. It is one of the poorest areas in Panama with a population of about 20,000 people. Only 20 years ago, it was a dangerous area, often ruled by gangs. When the government and private investors started seeing the potential of this area. Many of them moved to El Chorrillo, only a stone’s throw away from Casco Viejo. Get off the beaten path with Victor and see where boxer Roberto Duran trained, learn about how the U.S. invasion of Panama affected this neighborhood, try local food and drinks, visit the park where dominoes are played, chat with the locals in their homes & get to know the people of this area, and learn about the gentrification that has taken place in the now trendy Casco Viejo historic district. The Walking Tour through El Chorrillo. Victor's idea is to show tourists the real side of Panama: the local people, their living conditions & culture. He runs the tour under the slogan: "We are more than just a famous Canal - We are People". We will experience some graffitis, cultures and traditions of Panama! Other things to note This is an experience not a tour! We will not have any standard because this is more about exploring as a local and their daily life. If you have any allergies or if you don't drink alcohol, let me know. I want to make your trip special through local food and drinks, so it's very important to know
