This is a fantastic primer on the culture of Panama, which is not something you’ll encounter or partake in with other tour guides. Our journey will showcase Panama as seen by its residents, a perspective that most other guides won’t show you—except for Victor, who maintains profound ties with the communities of Chorrillo and Santa Ana.
- Plaza Herrera - Want something different than a traditional walking tour? Victor is a passionate local taking visitors off the beaten path in El Chorillo, the forgotten side of Panama City. The poor neighborhood El Chorrillo has a bad reputation and It is widely known for social problems.
Get off the beaten path with Victor and see where boxer Roberto Duran trained, learn about how the U.S. invasion of Panama affected this neighborhood, try local food and drinks, visit the park where dominoes are played, chat with the locals in their homes & get to know the people of this area, and learn about the gentrification that has taken place in the now trendy Casco Viejo historic district.
Victor’s idea is to show tourists the real side of Panama: the local people, their living conditions & culture. He runs the tour under the slogan:
“We are more than just a famous Canal - We are People”.
- Tasting local and artisanal rums
- Tasting local and artisanal beers
- Plantain, ceviche, yuca and salad.
