2.)  Casco Viejo = where Panama moved after Henry Morgan sacked Panama City.  This area is being renovated, and is something you have to see..it is a combination of French and Colonial.  Most tourists tell me they feel like they are at the French Quarters in New Orleans.  Here we would visit the Golden Altar, French Plaza, National Theator, Presidential Palace, Main Cathedral.  This area is being renovated right now.  I

3.)  The Coastway = Man made road with water on both sides = beautiful view of Panama City.  There are a lot of restaurants in this area, with a beautiful view of the Panama City skyline.  From here you can see the entrance to the Panama Canal once the ship passes under the Bridge of the Americas.

5.)  I can show you the American bases (Albrook/Clayton) , where all the military used to live until December 31, l999.  Will also show you some of the areas where civilians who worked in the Panama Canal used to live.

6.)  There is a beautiful hotel in the middle of the rainforest called Gamboa Rainforest Resort.  The drive is about 45 minutes from Panama City…about 25 minutes from the Miraflores Locks. The drive is just beautiful...and the view from the hotel overlooking the Chagres River, the Gatun Lake,  and the Rainforest is gorgeous.  This area is known as birders´ paradise.  In Panama we have more birds than Canada and the United States together!
