Overview

Immerse yourself in the history and color of the “Land of Abundant Fish and Butterflies”! I invite you to enjoy a fun and informative historical tour along a historic staircase at the highest point in Panama City, with incredible views of Panama’s Old Town, led by a professional guide certified by the Tourism Authority (ATP). This experience is designed to help you feel the true identity of our nation, and together we’ll discover:

• Stories of Independence: We’ll climb Cerro de Ancón—the first piece of land ceded to Panama after the signing of the Torrijos-Carter Treaty—and I’ll share the story of our country’s history, the formation of our Republic, and the events that shaped the Panama of today.

• The Canal and Its Legacy: Learn about the Interoceanic Canal, the marvel that connects the world’s two largest oceans, and discover why it became one of humanity’s most ambitious and deadly projects.

Enjoy an unforgettable experience… in the country that unites the world.

Meeting point

Plaza Catedral

On arrival

The meeting point is at the Plaza Catedral Basílica Santa María la Antigua. You can wait there while seated, and the guide will come by to ask who is signing up for the Cerro Ancón tour; just tell him you're on the Paul Jr. tour.

Things to note

The entrance fee to my little town is $3. Much of Panamanian culture can be found there: the Pollera Museum, the Afro-Antillean Museum, and (TIPS FOR THE TOUR GUIDE CERTIFIED BY THE PANAMA TOURISM AUTHORITY ARE SEPARATE).
Thank you for taking part in an unforgettable experience in Panama.
