Local handy wellness tip

If you have a day to explore wellness in Panama City, try heading to El Cangrejo in the morning. This neighborhood’s cafes wake up early if you want a light breakfast before a massage or yoga class nearby. Many locally owned wellness centers in this area offer packages that include aromatherapy or reflexology, which locals swear by after long flights or days in the city heat. Also, look out for wellness pop-ups on weekends, sometimes held in public parks or community centers, where you can try new treatments without the full price tag.
