Casco Viejo, Ciudad de Panamá, Corregimiento de San Felipe, Panamá
Casco Viejo, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, is the historic quarter of Panama City founded in 1673. Its cobblestone streets, ruined colonial churches, Pacific-view plazas, and restored art deco buildings coexist with avant-garde restaurants and boutique hotels — Central America's most sophisticated cultural destination.

Sign Up FreePanamá is the bridge between two continents and two oceans, and its position has shaped everything — from its multicultural population and colonial history to its extraordinary biodiversity. In a country the size of South Carolina, you can snorkel a Caribbean reef in the morning and watch Pacific sunsets over a cloud forest in the afternoon.
Akatrek connects you with local Panamanian guides who know the Guna communities of San Blas, the coffee highlands of Chiriquí, and the hidden corners of Casco Viejo that most tourists never reach.
Trips typically start from $20 USD. Panamá is one of the most underrated travel destinations in the Americas — small in size, enormous in experience.
Comarca Guna Yala, Panamá
The San Blas Archipelago, formed by 365 islands and cays in the Caribbean Sea, is the autonomous territory of the indigenous Guna people, who control all access. Its impossible turquoise waters, white sand beaches without hotel infrastructure, and world-class reefs make San Blas one of Latin America's most pristine destinations.
