⚓ History Through a Different Lens

See Panama’s most iconic landmark through the lens of the people who built it. The Panama Canal & Afro Legacy Tour brings to life the story behind one of the world’s greatest engineering feats — and the Afro-descendant communities whose labor, resilience, and culture gave it heart.

This half-day experience blends history, architecture, and identity. Visit the Miraflores Visitor Center to witness the Canal’s operations, watch ships cross between oceans, and experience the short film that traces its evolution. Then explore Casco Viejo, Panama City’s Old Town — a UNESCO site filled with colonial charm, modern culture, and stories of migration and transformation.
