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.

Metropolitan Natural Park Visitor Center
National reserve
👍👍 A relatively easy hike on well-marked trails. $4 per person, and you get a wrist tag. The young man at the entrance office was pleasant and spoke English. The butterfly house was closed for maintenance (July 1, 2021) but we could see some butterflies flying around inside. We started on the trail tha...

Independence Square
Park
👍👍 The heart of Casco Viejo! Beautiful and full of activities and performances. Traditional dancers and artists are there to share their art. It should be a pedestrian sector b/c it gets crowded by cars and buses. Don’t try to get there to park like too many and find a public parking and walk!

Cocolí Locks (Panama Canal Expansion)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Transiting the Panama Canal was an amazing experience. It took all day (from before sunrise until after sunset). Even though it is slow going for the ship there is so much to see and learn about. It had been crazy hot and the sun was very intense earlier in the day, by this time it was evening, c...

👍👍 Excellent for family time and relaxing. Large park with plenty of parking area. Lake claims to have a crocodile although we have never seen it. Mosquitos are common and there are not plenty of shades.

😠 Entrance is $5. No English on the displays which reading online reviews said no problem the English tour is amazing. When we arrived they said we were short staffed and tours have to be prior arranged. I don't recommend if you don't know Spanish.
