The bus glides away from Tocumen as Panama City unspools: a skyline of glass and steel, a colonial quarter of coral-stucco balconies, and the steady churn of ships threading the narrow waterway. This compact pre- or post-cruise package puts that first-day or last-hour clarity within reach — a night in a 4-star hotel, guided stops along the Cinta Costera and Amador Causeway, and a focused visit to the Miraflores Visitor Center to watch the locks at work.

History
Panama’s canal opened in 1914 and transformed a regional backwater into a global shipping hub; Casco Viejo dates to the mid-1600s after the original Panama City was sacked.
Conservation
Visitor pressure at Miraflores and the Causeway is managed through controlled viewing terraces; reduce impact by staying on paths and avoiding single-use plastics.
