Panama City
Panama City is big, really big. In fact it's supposedly Central Americas biggest city. We stayed in the old town neighbourhood of Casco Viejo, and I would advise anyone else heading to Panama City to do the same. The old town of Casco Viejo is the old colonial town of Panama city with great views across of from one of the many rooftop bars. There are plenty of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops to explore and though it's a bit of a walk to the metro station (approx 20 mins) it is within easy travel distance to the rest of the cities sights such as the Panama Canal and the highly recommended Biomuseo.
The bus itself was really, really cold, and though the seats did recline they didn't go back very far! It was 9 hours so we arrived very early in the morning at around 3:30am, this is a very inconvenient time as we hadn't got a hostel for that night. We hung around the Albrook terminal for a few hours before getting the metro to Cinco de Mayo, then it was about a 20 minute walk to the old town of Casco Viejo.
The overnight bus from Bocas Del Toro left just after 6pm, we had seats at the very front that were reasonably uncomfortable. The bus had it's aircon on full blast but luckily we had a few more items of clothing and our sleeping bag liners, we were just about warm enough. The seats reclined, but not a huge amount so we didn't get much sleep, we tried to pass the time by watching netflix and catching up with the blog. The bus got in to Panama City at the Albrook Terminal at around 3:30am. The was a little earlier than we had expected and we didn't want to attempt to get to our hostel at least until the sun had come up. The bus terminal had a food court and some wifi so we setup in the food court and got a bit of food.
We passed the time at the food court until it got light at around 6am. We got a travel card which caused a little confusion at first because we wanted two but were only given one card, it turned out that two people can use one card and it's perfectly fine. Just tap in and then pass it back to the other person to do the same, not quite the oyster card but it worked. We put 10 dollars on the card, which we were sure if that was going to be enough but turned out to be the perfect amount for a few trips over the 3 days. We jumped on the metro which is connected to the Albrook terminal and went one stop to Cinco de Mayo which is the nearest station to the old town of Casco Viejo. It was a 20 minute walk to the old town down a pedestrian street called Central Avenue. It was pretty run down and wasn't a great first impression of Panama City but there were quite a few police officers around so we felt pretty safe.
The old town of Casco Viejo almost appeared out of nowhere. One moment we were walking past old, run down buildings the next it was beautiful and perfectly maintained colonial buildings and churches. The contrast was incredible. Suddenly we were walking past beautiful cafes, boutique shops as well as cool bars (though in these early hours it was only the cafes which were stirring - pun intended!). We made our way to our hostel which was near the edge of the old town and behind a barred door. We were buzzed and we enquired about the room. Though we were booked in we were worried that getting to the hostel so early would mean we'd need to wait for the room. Luckily we were immediately shown to our room!
Day 1
We weren't sure which we wanted more by this point, a nap or some food. We ended up having a "quick" nap and woke up around midday ready for some food. We wandered back round the corner to a very nice looking cafe that we'd seen earlier where we got a couple of coffees and shared a chicken wrap, and as a little treat we had pecan tart. They were all very tasty.
We continued the day by exploring all the little streets and squares of Casco Viejo. The sun which had been hiding for most of the day eventually broke through and it put us in the mood for a drink. We could see a rooftop bar from the street so decided to go and take a look. It didn't look like much from below with lots of tacky Heineken umbrellas, however on the rooftop (Lazotea, see above) it was a different story (another great pun!). It had great views of the city, a very cool layout and nice adjoining restaurant and also a pool! I got a beer and Kate got a wine (she hadn't had much wine during the trip so she was pleased to fine one for a good price). We spent an hour or so at the bar enjoying our drinks and trying to stay in the shade of the umbrellas, the sun was super hot!
As the afternoon progressed we continued to explore the old town, and we may have also got an ice cream. We eventually meandered back to the hostel to change and put on some DEET before we went out for dinner. We weren't sure what we wanted for dinner but we ended up round the corner at Barrio Pizza which is a highly rated pizza place that's somewhere in between a takeaway and a restaurant. The pizza was pretty good, though a little small, we ended up sharing two which was just enough. Then it was back to the hostel for an early night, we were getting up early to head to the Panama Canal the next day.
Day 2
We got up around 6:30am so that we had time to go grab some breakfast and travel to Miraflores which is a set of locks on the Panama Canal. We headed to the same coffee place at the day before and got ourselves some takeaway coffees and a couple of pan au chocolates. They were a perfect start to the day. We walked back along central avenue to the metro station of Cinco de Mayo. From there we got the train back to Albrook Terminal where we were hoping to catch the bus to the locks.
There wasn't too much information online about the buses you could get to the locks but one trip advisor post said you could get the Miraflores bus from section D at the bus terminal. The local buses stop on the opposite side of the terminal to the intercity buses, and just opposite the huge Albrook Mall. We weren't sure of the times but we got there just before 9am and the bus came within a few minutes. It had "Miraflores" written across the front so you couldn't miss it, though there was another bus pulled up that wouldn't let us on and confused us until another one arrived. We jumped on the bus with our travel card which cost us about 50 cents each.
The trip to the Miraflores locks was a lot shorter than expected, the locks are only a couple of kilometres away from the Albrook bus terminal. Within 15-20 minutes we were pulling in to an industrial area with a large white building with Miraflores written across it which was the visitors centre for the locks. We immediately went up to the top floor of the centre where the viewing gallery is for the locks. There was already a ginormous boat passing through the locks and there was a woman announcing some interesting facts about the boat which was a nice touch, there were also strangely a lot of cup cake stalls around. After about 20 minutes of watching the locks operate there was an announcement that there was going to be an english screening of the introduction video in the cinema starting in a few minutes. All our fellow gringos rushed back to the bottom floor to take up our seats in the cinema which was actually pretty big, there was a lot of room as I don't think many people had made it to the locks that early.
The film was very interesting and gave a full history of the Canal, from it's first unfinished version built by the french and eventually stopped due to bancruptsy. To the modern day Canal and all it's political implications. Who knew Panama used to belong to Colombia?! After the film we were told it was actually the Canals 103rd anniversary and that all the cup cakes were free! We to the nearest cup cake stall and helped ourselves, I grabbed a coffee and we sat and watched more boats go through from below. After the 7th cupcake we started to feel a little bit sick and decided we should probably go and check out the museum to stop ourselves from eating anymore. The museum is set over 3 levels of the Miraflores visitors centre, the first is the building of the canal, the second is about all the wildlife and the canals impact on the area, the third is more about the the political and modern day canal. All in all it was very interesting and it gave us enough time to digest the cup cakes so we could have some more when we finished.
After the museum we went back upstairs to the viewing platform which was completely packed out by this point. We were exceptionally glad we'd made it to the locks early. To escape all the crowds we decided to leave the locks and make our way back to the Albrook Terminal to check out the giant mall next to it. We ended up having to wait a while for the bus to come (around 20 minutes), at first we thought we were waiting in the wrong place (right at the bottom of the stairs of the visitors centre) but eventually a bus did show up. While we were waiting we ran in to a couple of people we'd chatted to in Monteverde (again, waiting for a bus) and we passed the time exchanging stories and tips.
We spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the mall which was absolutely huge. I can't remember if we actually were looking for something, but all we found were sore feet! We headed back to the hostel via asupermarket, tonight was going to be a cheap dinner of pasta and "Hongos" sauce. Then it was to bed while listening to the torrential rain coming down outside.
Day 3
It was a reasonably late start on our third day in Panama City. We repeated the routine of heading to Cafe Kingdom for our morning coffee and pastries and before we knew it it was time for our meeting at Casa Luna hostel. The meeting was a briefing for our San Blas islands tour that we were taking towards Colombia the next day. The briefing was a meet and greet as well as a chance for our guides to give us all the information that we needed for the next day. What to bring in terms of clothing, money, food. How to pack i.e. cover everything and everything with plastic bags to keep everything dry. And also an opportunity to pay the rest of the balance. Overall the meeting was a bit of a shambles, we came away from the meeting still a little confused about what the trip was going to be like. We had in our minds something very like our Belize Island hopping trip. Or so we hoped.
After the meeting we went and grabbed a sandwich from Super Gormet, the very nice deli around the corner from our hostel
we decided to head to the Biomuseo which is a museum dedicated to the bio-diversity of Panama. Panama is one of the most bio-diverse places on the planet. It is this pathway between South and North America and is extremely important in the history of the animals on the two continents. The other draw of the museum is that is was designed by Frank Gehry, a famous architect for designing crazy buildings, and the Biomuseo is definitely crazy. We'd seen it from Casco Viejo a couple of days before and it had stuck out like a sore thumb. The multi-coloured roof makes it look a little like a children's playground and in its defence, it kind of is just that. I wasn't sure about it at first but seeing it up close and learning a bit more about it really made me appreciate it.
We spent a good couple of hours at the museum doing the audio guide tour which was included in the price. We were impressed with everyone who worked there too as you would be welcomed in to each room and given a brief overview before continuing with the audio guide. All the exhibits were really well done and interactive, though some of them weren't finished. We spent a good few minutes discussing why one of the exhibits was two huge empty tanks of water. It turned out they were to represent the different marine life between Atlantic and Pacific oceans, though they were yet to be filled with the marine life...
After we completed the museum we grabbed a cup of tea and some cake at the museum cafe before heading across the road to catch the bus back to Albrook mall. Next on the todo list was to see if we could pick up some Colombian pesos for our trip to the San Blas islands. The trip would take us to some pretty remote places where there wouldn't be any cash points and as we would be entering Colombia for a few days it would be good to have some pesos handy. When we got to the bus terminal walked straight through to see if there were any places to exchange money. We ran in to a few girls who were also going on our trip and we'd met at the meeting earlier. They told us they'd been looking around for Colombian pesos all afternoon and that there weren't any anywhere. They were heading into the city to check some of the money exchanges there.
We still had a few things that we needed to pick up from the mall so we didn't head off with them but instead went to the mall to pick up a few things, while we were there we found an exchange place and decided to ask there. We ended up queuing for a while and when we got to the front they told us they had 36 pesos. Bearing in mind the exchange rate was 2,400 pesos to 1 AUD, that wasn't particularly helpful. By this point it was quite late in the day so we decided we didn't have time to head in to town and look there. We decided we'd take a look on the way back to the hostel, though we didn't have much hope, we had US dollars which should get us by.
On the way back to the hostel we took a look into a few exchange places but they all were out of pesos or closed. A man at one of them told us that if we had US dollars we wouldn't have any issues and not to worry. Either way, we couldn't find any pesos so we didn't have much of a choice. We stopped in at a supermarket on the way to pick up all the items we might need, water, bin bags (to keep things dry), alcohol, and a few toiletries. When we got back to the hostel we started the long laborious task of putting all our things in to bin bags. Apparently the boats could be quite wet and they advised you put everything in bin bags, then double wrap them in bin bags on the outside just for good luck.
We were very tired by this point and we needed to be up early, we decided to nip out and grab dinner at the Thai Fish Market which is a food stall pop-up that is only open a few times a week which was just round the corner. We got a massaman curry and a seafood hot dog which were both delicious, before we grabbed another ice cream from our favourite ice cream shop then it was an early night in time for our 4am wake up!
Day 4
At 4am our alarm went off and we groggily woke up to have showers and triple check we had everything packed and in the right bags. We made our way downstairs just before 5am to wait for our pick-up which was apparently going to be a jeep that would take us to Carti where we'd be boarding our boats for the next few days. After 20 minutes of uneasily waiting our jeep showed up and we joined the other people who had already been picked up. We had one more pick-up before we headed towards a supermarket on the outskirts of town where we were able to grab some food and do a numbers check to make sure everyone had made the pick-up. After grabbing a coffee and a yogurt we had a quick toilet stop before we were off to the San Blas Islands.

Getting There
We caught a bus from Almirante, we payed 36 dollars for an overnight bus which we bought on Bocas Del Toro. They tried to sell us the ticket for 40 dollars but as we'd already got our ticket back on the boat we got them down to 36.The bus itself was really, really cold, and though the seats did recline they didn't go back very far! It was 9 hours so we arrived very early in the morning at around 3:30am, this is a very inconvenient time as we hadn't got a hostel for that night. We hung around the Albrook terminal for a few hours before getting the metro to Cinco de Mayo, then it was about a 20 minute walk to the old town of Casco Viejo.
Where we stayed
Hostal Hospedaje (Casco Viejo) - This was a cheap hostel in Casco Viejo as Casa Luna was booked out. It wasn't overly clean, the beds were quite uncomfortable and for some reason they had huge gaps above the balcony doors that let everything from noise to insects in. That said, it's location was great and staff were helpful when needed.Top Tips
- Travel Card - Get a travel card if you plan to use the public transport to the Panama Canal and the rest of the city's sights. You can get one from the Albrook Terminal and preload with a few dollars. We used one card between us (which is apparently fine) and spent 10 dollars over the 3 days (though we did use the public transport quite a bit)
- The Miraflores locks - you can get the bus from the Albrook Terminal very easily and for cheap. Arrive at the locks early to avoid the crowds and see all the big boats which come through earlier in the day.
- Student Card/Combo Tickets - If you plan on going to both the Biomuseo and Mirarflores you can get a combo ticket and save some money, having a student card will also save you quite a bit!
Food and Drink
- Granclement Gourmet - An incredible ice cream place that you definitely need to visit.
- Super Gormet Deli - A great place to grab a sandwich or soup, very well priced too. We got some excellent fresh pasta to cook at the hostel there too.
- Cafe Unido at the American Trade Hotel - We went for coffee and a pastry here everyday we were in Panama city. Great place to start the day.
- The Fish Market - We got a very tasty Massaman and sea food hot dog, check for opening times!
- LAZOTEA rooftop - we stopped here for a drink and it has a great view over Casco Viejo and the rest of the city..
Things to do
- Panama Canal - Miraflores
- Biomuseo - An awesome museum showcasing the incredible bio-diversity of Panama and how it came to be. It's also designed by Frank Gehry who also designed the Guggenheim, Bilbao so expect something special from the first time you see it.
- Casco Viejo - The old town of Panama it really pretty and is a great place to wander down the tiny streets checking out bars, cafes and restaurants.
