Casco Antiguo y Panamá Viejo Patrimonio de la Humanidad eXpedición
Descripción
Haga uno o ambos sitios, para el recorrido a pie podemos encontrarnos en la ciudad colonial o concertar la recogida escribiéndonos un mensaje. Casco Antiguo de San Felipe es donde se fundó la nueva Ciudad de Panamá en 1673 (el 350 aniversario fue en 2023), construida a solo 5 millas al Suroeste de donde quedó en ruinas la primera ciudad (sitio arqueológico de Panamá Viejo) tras los incendios iniciados por los propios coloniales españoles, en un esfuerzo por salvar la posición estratégica crucial para el Comercio Mundial desde que se descubrió el Océano Pacífico en 1513, y para evitar el colapso del Imperio Español justo allí y luego, al pirata más famoso de la segunda mitad de la Colonia Española, su némesis que comandó el ataque "Pícaro" en 1671: Capitán Henry Morgan. Ambos son Patrimonio de la Humanidad según la UNESCO.

Itinerario
Comenzaremos caminando hacia las plazas principales y el centro de la ciudad de la zona de San Felipe, si tenemos ambos sitios en su recorrido cubriremos lo más destacado de San Felipe durante aproximadamente 1 hora antes de ir al sitio arqueológico de Panamá Viejo.
Mientras caminamos por la Avenida "A" (Ave.) nos detendremos en la Iglesia de San José, donde podremos vislumbrar el Altar de Oro y un Belén que se encuentra dentro de la Iglesia Colonial Española fundada en 1675. También haremos una parada por las ruinas de la Compañía de Jesús (monjes jesuitas) y las ruinas del arco plano (utilizadas por los franceses como evidencia de que Panamá era adecuada para la vía fluvial que querían construir).
En la Av. B visitaremos la iglesia y el Oratorio San Felipe Neri ("claustro") de las Hermanas de la Caridad que se encuentran en los alrededores de la Plaza Bolívar.
Una vez que caminemos por la Avenida B (Ave.), nos dirigiremos a la plaza principal en la histórica ciudad de San Felipe, Patrimonio de la Humanidad, Casco Antiguo, República de Panamá, que está ubicada frente a la Basílica Metropolitana Santa María La Antigua ( La construcción comenzó en el año de Nuestro Señor en 1688 y se consagró 108 años después en 1796) donde veremos algunas de las reliquias y la tradición, para luego caminar hasta Central Ave donde veremos evidencia de las huellas del antiguo Trolley mientras caminamos. hacia la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Merced dentro de la entrada de la ciudad.
Y terminaremos nuestro recorrido caminando por el lugar donde las puertas de la ciudad separarían por jerarquía a los ciudadanos, es decir, los colonos europeos y los españoles nacidos en el nuevo mundo tenían derecho a vivir dentro de estos límites y los nativos, indígenas y negros vivían afuera en los suburbios ("los arrabales"), luego nos dirigiremos de regreso a la Plaza Herrera, donde comenzó el recorrido para despedir a los invitados que reservaron la variación opcional * "Ruined City tour".
Recomendamos encarecidamente visitar este museo en su tiempo libre, pregunte a su guía dónde se encuentra, patrimonio precolombino de los habitantes de San Blas.
El Centro de Visitantes del sitio arqueológico deja boquiabiertos a nuestros guías con el conocimiento adquirido.

Alex was an absolutely fabulous guide! He has a vast amount of knowledge about the history of Casco Antiquo and was very generous in sharing lots of interesting stories about the buildings he was showing us! We covered a temendoud amount of ground in 3 hours - but he really paced us well and welcomed all our questions! We learned so much from him! And we had a renewed appreciation for both the ruins and all the restored buildings!
You are very welcome, we have passed on your kind words to guide Alex and thank you very much for using our services.
Richard was an excellent knowledgable guide. Would definitely recommend him. He was patient and kind and took some excellent photos of us
Your kindness is inspiration and we are boldly growing thanks to it, please recommend us to your family and friends
The Richard was extremely informative and I learned so much about Panamá. I was solo on trip and felt safe. I would have liked to see more places, but the weather made it more difficult because I don’t really want to be outside in the rain. He did a good job of finding indoor locations and helped me take lots of pictures. We did see many historical sites.
Glad we were useful, and we truly value the time you used to leave a kind word for other travelers to use our services. Your words are very encouraging.
Richard is a knowledge and intelligent guide. He knows the history of the Panama Canal and the roles played by France, Spain, and the United States. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has a penchant for historial events. Any history educator or history buff will be enthralled with Richard's level of knowledge of the Panama Canal, while moving through the historical event sites.
Our team is very honored to share time with travelers, specially with guests that want to get the most out of the culture and national perspectives (since history is learned differently depending where we learn it, hence the value of going to see the world for your own self), I personally want to thank you for recommending our service to the National Board of Education, Principal Nathalie.
My wife and I had a great time touring with Richard at the Casco walking tour, Gamboa Rain Forest and Ancon Hill in Panama. Richard was very friendly, punctual and knowledgeable. The goal was to see a sloth at the rain forest and Richard came through! We highly recommend him!
Well, it is a very nice gesture on your part to provide details like these for others to see. We value our heritage, cuture and the natural environment is not the least of the three at all, there are things we can control and others we can't, what we want to provide as a constant is a friendly attitude and the love for what we do. Thanks for encouraging my business partner Alex and I.
Richard was a very knowledgeable guide and did a fantastic job at giving us a an experience of the rich history of this amazing city. There was a fair amount of walking at a comfortable pace, but no one even seemed to notice because there was so much to see and hear about. When we finished, Richard recommended a restaurant for us to have lunch. It was the best meal we had the entire month we were in Panama. I can highly recommend hiring Richard to enhance your experience as you visit Panama.
This is something our team greatly appreciates, we consider it the highest reward for the great effort made to give you our best quality service. Please share our Viator account on your social media posts, some of your friends will want to know more and you can feel confident sending them our way for details of what we do, we will treat them like they were your family.
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Alex as our tour guide! He is very friendly, knowledgeable, charismatic and engaging. He took us through some of the most interesting parts of Casco Viejo and at the end, we ended up booking yet another tour with him. The next day he took us to the canal, we stopped to check out a sloth, and then headed to see the monkeys at Monkey Islands. It was a wonderful day! I can’t recommend Alex enough! He went above and beyond to make our experience authentic all while catering to what we needed. Thank you Alex! We hope to see you again in the future!
Thanks for the review, you help us do better with those kind words. Alex
Alex was great, he picked me up at my hotel at 6:30am and took me to a local coffee shop. From there we drove an hour to catch a boat out to monkey island. It was just he and I on the boat which was awesome because all the other boats were packed. From there he offered to show me the Panama Canal but I didn’t have an interest so he drove me back to Casco and gave me a walking tour and showed me a great place to grab a bite to eat. Incredibly friendly and willing to go the extra miles. Literally!
Thank you for your review, we are encouraged by your words, Alex
