Amador Causeway

Tourist attraction

👍👍 A great place where to go for a long walk or a bike ride (on the convenient bike lanes) while enjoying great views of Panama City's skyline on the other side of the bay. Also great for ship spotting, being at the entrance of the Panama Canal. At night the area of Perico Island becomes lively, with m...

Embera Quera

Tourist attraction

👍👍 I can’t stop thinking about our visit to the Embera Quera. They are a beautiful, unique and fun group who allowed us to enjoy the afternoon with them. There is so much to learn about being humble and being in connection with the fruits of the earth

4.80 (103 reviews) (~33.41 km from centre)

Cerro de la Cruz

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Worth it! We walked from the main beach, through the island town and then along a gravel road to the base of the “mountain”. The small and overgrown trail was a little hard to find but if you use google maps, it’ll make it a little easier. I have included a photo of where the trail goes from a grave...

Emberá Purú Village

Tourist attraction

😐 This trip is good value but rather fake. It gives you a good idea how they lived years ago but the village and goods which they tell you are made by hand by them are just mass produced. Ok as a souvenir but over priced and not genuin. You can by all the same items in Panama city for half the price i...

Miraflores Locks

Historical landmark

👍👍 Great history, and well organized. Kind staff- awesome to get to see not one but 2 ships go through! I know some times there is not much traffic but that day was a busy one :). Please allow yourself a lot of time because if boats go through it's easy to miss out on the history if you're on a timeli...

Photo Parador - Cinta Costera

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Very nice place to take a walk, ride a bike or just enjoy in the views of the skyscrapers and Pacific ocean. The whole area is maintained daily and looks nice and tidy. You can get a refreshing "rapsado" at every corner and later in the evening you can even grab something to eat. Recommended.

Agua Clara Locks Visitor Center

Observation deck

👍👍 I had the opportunity to visit both the Miraflores Locks in Panama City and the Agua Clara Locks in Colón. If you are visiting Panama and want to see the Locks, but can only see one, I would recommend the Agua Clara Locks. While it is nearly a 2-hour drive from Panama City, the experience is far su...
