Miraflores Locks
If you're on a budget consider packing a lunch and eating at one of the picnic areas nearby. Eating at the café was nice but prices added up a bit much for my taste!
Don’t miss the movie at the visitor center! It's super informative and sets the mood for your visit. Grab a snack at the café while you're there, it’s got decent prices!
Iglesia de La Merced
Panama Viejo
Definitely wear comfortable shoes! The site is larger than I expected, and there’s a lot to walk around. I regretted wearing flip-flops because my feet started hurting halfway through.
Plan your visit for early morning, like around 9 AM. It was super quiet then, which made it easier to take photos and enjoy the atmosphere without the crowds. I went around noon, and it felt packed!
Biomuseo
Teatro Amador
My advice is to arrive around 30 minutes before the show starts. It gives you enough time to find your seat and soak in the atmosphere. Plus if you want snacks you'll have time to grab those too!
