Panamá La Vieja is the historic and monumental complex of the first Spanish city founded on the Pacific coast by Pedro Arias de Ávila on August 15, 1519. Its archaeological remains perfectly recreate the captivating story of the conquest. Due to its location, Panamá la Vieja was the starting point for the expeditions that conquered the Inca Empire of Peru in 1532. It was also a stopover on one of the most important trade routes in the Americas to Nombre de Dios and Portobelo, through which most of the gold and silver that the Spanish mined in the Americas passed.
The Historic District preserves an intact street network, along with a considerable number of old domestic buildings, which are an exceptional testament to the nature of this early settlement. The Casco Antiguo was built after the first settlement of Panamá la Vieja was destroyed by disease and pirate attacks, the last and best-known being that of Henry Morgan. The city moved to a rocky peninsula that was healthier and easier to defend.
In 1673, they founded what is now officially called the Old Town. The rich mix of architecture is a large part of its charm.
The earliest buildings date back to the 18th century, and their architectural styles include Spanish and French colonial, neoclassical, art nouveau, and mid-century modern. Due to their legendary history and architectural and archaeological recovery, UNESCO declared both cities World Heritage Sites.
Modern Panama City. This vibrant and dynamic urban center is a truly cosmopolitan city in the middle of the tropics, so prepare to see imposing skyscrapers surrounded by breathtaking nature.
Notes:
* Bring comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a camera.
* A minimum of two adult passengers per booking is required.
*MONDAY THE RUINS AND MUSEUM OF ANCIENT PANAMA ARE CLOSED, so the visit becomes panoramic and is replaced by another site called 'Mi pueblito' (which exposes the main ethnic groups of Panama, Afro-Antillean, interior and indigenous).
