El Chorillo Experience

If you want to see a side of Panama City that’s not normally visited by tourists and be immersed with locals, The El Chorillo Experience is for you. Victor Peretz, founder of Local in PTY, will be your guide and you’ll 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 neighboring trendy Casco Viejo historic district.

Monkey Island and Indian Village

Ever wanted to see monkeys up close in the wild? Well, Panama has an island full of them! The Monkey Island and Indian Village Tour is one of the best values because you get to visit Monkey Island and the Embera Indigenous Community which is not offered by most guides. You’ll start with exploring Lake Gatun by boat where you’ll see local wildlife and monkeys and then head to the indigenous community where you’ll learn about the local culture, history, and crafts. Then, hike along a short trail to see the plants that grow in this area and how they use them (practical, artist or medical uses) and see a dance that is part of their customs

Gastronomic Tour Of Casco Viejo

You’ll start your gastronomic journey visiting the most iconic restaurants and bars of Casco Viejo. At each stop, you can taste different options of Panamanian food, accompanied by refreshing drinks. You will not only eat and drink but also get to know the beautiful neighborhood of Casco Viejo where you will learn about the culture, the origin, and its surroundings.

Panamanian Party Bus

A Chiva Parrandera is a traditional party bus in Panama and you can actually rent one for the night! The old school buses have been decked out with crazy paint jobs, speaker systems, and plenty of room dancing. The rental includes the bus for 3.5 hours, a bartender, and a DJ but you’ll need to BYOB.

Helicopter Tour

Get a bird’s eye view of Panama City and the Panama Canal during the Helicopter Tour with Panama Air Adventures. The company also offers private charter tours to the Pearl Islands and San Blas Islands for another unique experience.

Taboga Island Catamaran

Hop aboard The All-Inclusive Taboga Catamaran Tour and enjoy an open bar, music, and food as you make your way to Taboga Island, the closest island to Panama City! Sunbathe, lay down and enjoy the big deck with huge nets and speakers. Once the boat gets to the island you’ll have a chance to swim, snorkel, explore the island, or just hang out on the boat!
