What to see and do in Panama
Panama City
Panama City has 36 narrated places, the largest selection on Neywo in Panama. Among its highlights are Casa de la Municipalidad, Panamá Viejo Cathedral, the Biomuseo and the Miraflores Locks Visitors Center.
Together, these places introduce several sides of the city: its historic heritage, its museums and its connection with the canal. Panama City is a natural starting point for a Panama travel guide because it brings so many of the country’s stories together in one destination.
Colón
On the Caribbean side, Colón has 11 narrated places. Its highlights include Chagres and Fort San Lorenzo, Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Colón City and Gatun Lake.
The city’s selection combines historic monuments with places linked to the surrounding waterways. Fort San Lorenzo and Gatun Lake offer two especially different ways to understand the area, while Immaculate Conception Cathedral and Colón City add an urban and architectural perspective.
Boquete
Boquete has 20 narrated places, making it one of the most extensive city guides in the country. Its main points of interest include Cima del Volcán Barú, Caldera River, Cerro Cabezón and Cerro Guacal.
The selection focuses on the landscape around Boquete, with mountain summits, hills and the Caldera River all represented. It is a useful destination to include when looking for things to do in Panama beyond the country’s major urban centres.
El Valle de Antón
El Valle de Antón has 4 narrated places: Quebrada Honda, Cerro Águila, Cerro Caracoral and Cerro Pajita.
Its guide is centred on natural places, with three hills and Quebrada Honda forming a compact introduction to the area. The smaller number of narrated places makes it a focused stop for travellers interested in exploring the landscape around El Valle de Antón.
