Description
This shared Layover tour begins at 11:00 AM from Tocumen Airport Terminal #2 and takes you on a discovery of Panama City.
Our first stop is the iconic F&F Tower, where you can capture amazing photos of its famous twisted design.
We then continue to the Pedro Miguel Locks area, where you can view part of the Panama Canal through the security fence—there is no official viewpoint, but it still offers a close look at this historic lock zone.
Next, we drive to the Amador Causeway, a former U.S. Canal Zone area known for the Panama sign, the marina views, ocean breeze, and occasional sloth sightings along the road.
Finally, we explore Casco Antiguo, the historic old town filled with restaurants, churches, rooftops, artisan shops, street art, and beautiful photo spots. We depart Panama City at 3:00 PM to arrive back at the airport around 3:45 PM.
Please note: this tour does not include a visit to the Panama Canal Miraflores visitor centers.
