    Hola, Yesenia

    All four of us are back at our respective homes now, and we wanted to let you know that we were very pleased with the service provided by EcoCircuitos this trip. Our drivers were always very prompt, so every day started on time, and we always felt safe in their care. Park Eden and Los Establos were, as expected, excellent accomodations in all respects.

    All of our guides were very knowledgable about their activities, and they were very pleasant fellows, as well. We got the trip off to an excellent start with Jose's tour of Casco Viejo, Panama Vieja and El Valle's attractions. We also found the Embera Encounter to be especially interesting and enjoyable, and would like to thank Jose for his excellent information about them and the area.
    I'm sure Jim and Cheri would also like me to thank you once again for taking care of their extra luggage while we were in Boquete.
    I will go to your web site, and if there is a place for customers to give you feedback that others may see, you may be sure my comments will be very, very positive.

    Thanks,

    Hi Annie,

    I wanted to thank you and your staff for our wonderful day tours. D’Angelo and Joshua were delightful, professional and informative. My family greatly enjoyed all that we learned and saw and aside from the hundreds of photos we took I am happier to say that we take away great memories of Panama. Again, with much thanks and wishes for a wonderful new year.

Itinerary

In the morning you will visit the ruins of Old Panama, climb up the Cathedral tower, visit the Old Panama Museum and continue to Casco Antiguo (the old city compound), which dates from the late 1600's.


A bilingual historical guide will describe the events in history leading up to the movement of the capital city founded by Pedrarias to its present location. Casco Antiguo is home to monuments of Ferdinand de Lesseps and other important historical Frenchmen that attempted to construct a canal through Panama. Your tour ends with a visit to the Panama Canal Museum (optional and entrance not included). The full day tour continues with a visit to the Miraflores Locks at the Panama Canal where large ships can be seen transiting the canal.


Enjoy a presentation by the Panama Canal Authority about the history of the Panama Canal and marvel at the workings of this feat of human engineering. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant in Casco Antiguo or Causeway. The tour will continue to the Panama Canal area, including the town of Balboa, formerly part of the Panama Canal Zone.


You will stop at a folk art market building to purchase local handcrafts. In the late afternoon you will return to your hotel in Panama City.
