Mi Pueblito

Historical and Cultural Sites Museum
Things to do in Panama

Mi Pueblito offers in a single space the customs and traditions that our country has.
This place has three attractions:
  • My Afro-Antillean Pueblito
  • My Pueblito Campesino
  • My Indigenous Pueblito

Located at the southeastern foot of Cerro Ancón,

Mi Pueblito is a mock village depicting three Panamanian cultures: Afro-Caribbean, the interior region, and indigenous groups.

At the main entrance is a colonial Spanish hacienda-style building with displays of polleras, both antique and new, plus roped-off interiors with various and sundry antique household items placed to give visitors an idea of life during the 19th century.

Here, at the entrance, one of several guides will approach you and offer to explain the historical and cultural significance of each display. Across the street are a few typical Caribbean-style homes, as well as the thatched-roof huts of Kuna and Emberá Indians.

Altogether Mi Pueblito is a touristy, uninspiring attraction whose purpose seems less to educate travelers and more to hawk clothing and crafts at high prices.

However, travelers who only plan to visit Panama City and are in the Cerro Ancón area might find it interesting to view the sharply contrasting cultural fabric of Panama displayed in the architectural design of the center's buildings.
