We meet in Viajero Hostel Casco Viejo
Our meeting point. We gather at the hostel reception, where we hand out the audio radio system to each guest, and then take the bikes over to Plaza de Santa Ana.
We test the bikes and make sure everyone feels comfortable and confident riding. Here we introduce the route and the neighborhoods we'll explore together.
We ride to the Arco Chato, the famous flat arch of Casco Antiguo, and share its surprising connection to the story of the Panama Canal.
From the old city walls, take in one of the best views of the Casco Antiguo peninsula, in one of its most beautiful plazas.
We stop to talk with Guna artisans and discover the story behind the mola, their vibrant traditional textile art.
The story of Panama's independence from Spain in 1821 and its separation from Colombia in 1903, with a view of the Metropolitan Cathedral. Before leaving the old city, we share our favorite local food recommendations.
How Casco Antiguo has transformed since the 1990s, and the real conversation about gentrification and the families who have always called this area home.
Just outside the old walled city, in the Santa Ana neighborhood. Plaza Amador, home to a local football field, shows a different side of Panama City: everyday, lived-in and real, far from the polished restorations of Casco Viejo.
The heart of the tour: tasting Panamanian flavors like Geisha coffee, tropical fruits, fresh natural juices, local hot sauces and, depending on the day, traditional empanadas.
We walk through the fish market, learn about the local seafood, and taste fresh ceviche.
A scenic ride along the Cinta Costera waterfront, with views of the bay and the financial district skyline, before we return to the hostel.
