Our hotels are located in Casco Viejo, a charming place to explore, with cobblestone streets, colonial mansions, churches, plazas, and Spanish landmarks.
For the early arrivals: Optional visit to Parque Natural Metropolitano (Metropolitan Natural Park). A unique urban wildlife refuge with lush landscape and stellar viewpoints. Inside the park live many species of birds, sloths, aguti, and Geoffroy's tamarin.
Guided walking tour of the Casco Viejo historic center, named an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Casco Viejo, also known as Casco Antiguo or the Old Quarter, is the historic district of Panama City, Panama. This walking tour will cover important plazas, impressive churches, and the unique history and urban renewal of Panama. Casco Viejo was founded in 1673 after the original Panama City, located nearby, was destroyed by the Welsh pirate Henry Morgan. The Spanish colonial authorities decided to establish a new settlement on a small peninsula jutting into the Pacific Ocean, which provided a natural defense against pirate attacks.
