Your detailed itinerary

DAY 1 | ARRIVAL IN PANAMA CITY

**Transfer from Tocumen International Airport to your hotel ** Duration: approx. 40 min.

Tour of Casco Viejo. Departure from the hotel for a visit to the old quarter, the "Casco Viejo", for a walk through history: from Spanish colonization and the golden age of piracy, to the more modern era of great advances in engineering with the construction of the Panama Canal by France and then the United States, which left their mark on the architecture of the district and the culture of the country. Duration: 4 hours.

**Overnight at the Best Western Plus Panama Zen Hotel 3* in a Superior Room.

DAY 2 | DAY TRIP TO LAKE GATUN AND MIRAFLORES LOCKS

30 km from Casco Antiguo lies the town of Gamboa, where our private boat will be waiting for us at the port to navigate the waters of Lake Gatun, while our guide shares his knowledge of the nature surrounding the lake and interesting historical aspects of the Panama Canal. On the way, you'll get an up-close look at the gigantic ships that pass through the canal and the banks where crocodiles usually rest. You'll visit different islands to meet white-faced capuchin monkeys, Geoffroy's tamarins and howler monkeys. You'll also have the opportunity to admire other animal species such as toucans, sloths, iguanas and numerous birds. Over the past two years, the "monkey island of the lake" has become a very famous tourist attraction, which is why the expedition we propose maintains different schedules according to the season and a more extensive circuit that plunges into unexplored corners of the lake where there is lush vegetation. It's worth mentioning that the assigned guide is local, active and has the ability to locate and recognize species that are easily confused in the lake. After lunch at a local restaurant, your guide will take you to the Miraflores Locks Visitor Center to witness the passage of the big boats, this time from a different point of view. We recommend you bring warm clothes, as the air-conditioned Miraflores visitor center is a little cold. Duration: 8 hours.

**Overnight at the Best Western Plus Panama Zen Hotel 3* in a Superior Room.

DAY 3 | EMBERA PURU TOUR

One hour from the city, from the port of Corotú, located on Lake Alajuela, you'll board a "piragua", a traditional handmade pirogue, which will take you through the abundant nature of the Chagres River. You'll sail to the foothills of the indigenous community to discover exclusive beaches where you'll have free time to enjoy a swim and cold drinks. At lunchtime, you'll enjoy a traditional meal prepared on site, to which we'll add avocados, coffee and seasonal fruit. On the way back, you'll head for the entrance to a trail that ends at a picturesque waterfall (the walk lasts around 15-25 minutes, and varies according to the season, which influences the water level and changes the path). The indigenous community we visit, being one of the most remote from the city, offers the possibility of enjoying wild beaches, without groups of people. For greater safety, we rely on our native companions, with whom we've had a very good relationship for years and who know the park terrain, the climate and our dynamics perfectly when walking or going to the river. Duration: 7 hrs.

Recommendations: wear comfortable walking clothes and shoes that can get wet, a swimsuit, sun cream, sunglasses, a hat, a change of clothes, a camera and light clothing.
