Panama City
We offer pick-up service from all hotels, apartments, Airbnbs, and hostels within Panama City. Our goal is to make your experience as smooth and convenient as possible from the very start. Please make sure to stay attentive to messages or calls from our team the day before your tour — your assigned guide will contact you directly to confirm the exact pick-up time and meeting point based on your location. Timely coordination ensures we stay on schedule and everyone enjoys a seamless experience. If you haven’t received a message by the evening before your tour, feel free to reach out to us. We’re here to help and ensure you’re ready for your adventure!
We begin our experience at “Mi Pueblito,” the starting point of our walking tour. This is where our vehicle drops us off and your guide welcomes you with a brief introduction to the route ahead. Before we begin the gentle hike, you’ll receive a flashlight and a bottle of water to keep you refreshed and prepared. From here, we’ll start our ascent to the summit of Ancon Hill — the highest natural point in Panama City. As we walk through lush tropical forest, your guide will share fascinating insights about the area’s history, ecology, and wildlife. It’s a peaceful and rewarding climb, suitable for all ages, and full of surprises along the way. Get ready to reconnect with nature and enjoy one of the most iconic views of the city!
We made it to the top of Ancon Hill! Take a deep breath and enjoy one of the most stunning panoramic views in all of Panama. From this privileged spot, you'll see the modern skyline of Panama City, the historic district of Casco Viejo, the Bridge of the Americas, the entrance to the Panama Canal, and even ships waiting in the bay — all framed by the surrounding tropical forest. It’s the perfect moment to capture unforgettable photos and soak in the contrast between city and nature. After this scenic highlight, we begin our descent. But the experience isn’t over yet! Keep your eyes and ears open — we’ll be on the lookout for colorful toucans, sleepy sloths in the treetops, and with some luck, we may even spot Geoffrey’s tamarin monkeys playing in the branches as we make our way down.
