Three Cities in One Panama Tourist Board The bridge between North and South America, Panama offers an incredible variety of world-class attractions and nature at its best. Discover amazing diversity in this crossroads of the world, where colonial charm meets modern-day luxury. From the ruins of Panama Viejo, to the trendy art district of Casco Viejo, to the vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere of Panama City, the country of Panama is a destination like no other. The Explorer Discover the amazing contrast of Panama’s three cities in one. Visit the Panama Canal, then take in the world- class shopping, dining, and nightlife of Panama City. Go scuba diving, canyoning, kayaking, ziplining, jungle/ mountain trekking, rappelling and white water rafting. Take an ocean-to-ocean hike across the isthmus through dense jungle, and observe the culture of indigenous tribes. It’s all in a day’s play in Panama. Panama Viejo – Old Panama Located in the southwest of the city, the historical district and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Panama Viejo, the “first” Panama City, is home to ruins of fortresses, cities and other jewels from a time when pirates were the rulers of the oceans. Once surrounded by walls to provide protection from pirates, Panama Viejo was built by the Spaniards in the 1670’s to relocate the city destroyed by Sir Henry Morgan. Casco Viejo The “second” Panama City, a 28-block area with a massive, historic sea wall built to escape the fate of the Old City, dates back to the 17th century and is an architectural gem and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beautifully restored and authentically unrestored buildings line the cobblestone streets along with trendy plazas, shops and restaurants, creating a bustling street life. From here, the sweeping ocean views of Panama Bay’s modern skyscraper skyline provide an amazing contrast between old and new. Modern Panama City There’s no “hotter” destination than the “third” Panama City. Set on a beautiful bay with a Manhattan-like skyline, this contemporary city boasts a booming business district, first-world infrastructure, world-class casinos, great restaurants, attractive neighborhoods and the only wildlife refuge in the world within city limits in the Metropolitan Park. Located near the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal at the crossroads of the world, it is a shopper’s paradise with goods available from every corner of the world. Panal Canal In 2016, a 984-foot Chinese merchant ship made history by clearing the new massive locks of the Panama Canal, becoming the first to officially pass through the expanded canal and opening a new era in global trade. The expansion effort took nearly 10 years to complete. Two new sets of locks were added-one on the Atlantic side and one on the Pacific side, doubling the waterway’s cargo capacity, and greatly reducing travel times between oceans. Like the channel that opened in 1914, the enlarged Panama Canal is a feat of engineering. Enough material was dredged to fill the Egyptian Great Pyramid at Giza 25 times over; the amount of steel used could have erected 29 new Eiffel Towers; and the Empire State Building could lie down and fit into just one of the three chambers in each of the new channel’s locks. 4
