- In today's video, I will be traveling to Panama City, Panama! Panama City, the capital of Panama, is a modern city framed by the Pacific Ocean and the man-made Panama Canal. Casco Viejo, its cobblestoned historic center, is famed for colonial-era landmarks like the neoclassical Palacio Presidencial and bougainvillea-filled plazas lined with cafes and bars. The Miraflores Locks offer views of ships traversing the canal, an essential shipping route linking the Atlantic and Pacific. I will be spending a couple of days here in Panama City and will show you what the city has to offer. Throughout my stay, we will visit Casco Viejo, Panama Viejo, Mercado de Mariscos, Cinta Costera, Ancon Hill, Amador Causeway, and more.
Today, we will explore Panama Viejo and Casco Viejo.Casco Antiguo, is also known as Casco Viejo or San Felipe, is the historic district of Panama City. Completed and settled in 1673, it was built following the near-total destruction of the original Panamá city, Panamá Viejo in 1671, when the latter was attacked by pirates. It was designated a World Heritage Site in 1997. Panamá Viejo, also known as Panamá la Vieja, is the remaining part of the original Panama City, the former capital of Panama, which was destroyed in 1671 by the Welsh privateer Henry Morgan. It is located in the suburbs of the current capital. Join me on this adventure through Panama!

Thank you so much!! I went to Costa Rica twice already but have not made a lot of videos there so I am looking to go back as well. Thank you for your support and for watching!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
I took a solo trip to Panamá in November 2022 and absolutely loved the city, culture, food, and just everything! This video makes me miss it all!
Keep up the great travel videos!
That is awesome thank you so much for sharing!! I definitely love panama and the people are so nice!!! Thank you for watching 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Nov is kind of the rainy season's grande hurrah. The "icy" thing is called a respado. There are, I believe, 6 cathedrals in Casco (there's a tour), 1 being the church of the Golden alter where the gold was melted and alter painted to keep the pirates from stealing it. The highway is the Cinta Costera. The birds are parroqueets. They do the "screaming" at sunrise and sunset. You can also find them in the El Cangrejo neighborhood.
A decade ago, Casco was a mostly abandoned ghetto full of squatters and trees growing through the roofs of the buildings. You didnt dare walk down most streets during the day let alone at night.
Hopefully the govt will take some of that same money that comes into that same canal and fix Colon on the Caribbean side which was as beautiful yet still suffers from the same poverty that once owned Casco.
Great insights!! Thank you 🤩🤩🤩
Nice video very well imforme thanks
❤️❤️❤️
I want to visit Panama, but I don't speak much Spanish
Hey Melissa, no worries at all. To be honest, a lot of people in Panama speaks English!! They learn both Spanish and English at school so i am sure you can get by 👌🏼👌🏼💫
@@JackTravels much appreciated
You can get by in many areas. There is a lot of English spoken here. Not as much as you'd think after the Canal Zone having been occupied by the US for so many years but still doable. The city incl Casco, El Cangrejo, San Francisco and more are reasonably bilingual then expat settlements like El Valke de Anton. Boquete, Cotonado/Gorgona and Volcan Baru as well. But...why not learn a little bit so that you can REALLY experience the culture.
@janetlynnewallsussman4846 Thank you. I do speak a little Spanish.
