Hello, I am Martin, I'm very passionate about tourism in my country. I went to work on cruises around the world, travelled around more than 66 countries and 200 ports, so I felt the need to offer my services and help travelers to have better experiences in a country where people don't speak English. I want to make things easier for them so they have a better experience visiting.

With respect to my work, I like to publicize my country and join tourists in their discovery of beautiful places like the Panama Canal, yet helping them understand there's more to Panama than that. We have can reach a jungle in less than 1 h, we can visit an indigenous village like Embera, whose inhabitants comprise one our country's ethnic groups. I like to travel around the country and continue discovering new places to then show visitors, so they can see the magic that Panama has.

All my tours are open to being personalized as to adapt to your needs and to have a one of a kind experience in this country that has much to show, from culture and gastronomy to hiking and overall adventure.

My goals are to make your experiences unique, so you can enjoy your stay in my country and every place we visit to the fullest. Remember that I am your advisor for turning your trip or vacation in my country into a singular experience.

I am certified guide by the Panama Tourism Authority.
I learned English at the University of Mobile, Alabama.

We will be navigating the Chagres river that spans across oceans and is the largest tributary to the Panama Canal.

In our way here we will sail through La Bonita waterfall, to the village where these Aboriginals live, where you'll learn a lot about their home, their dances, foods and traditions. You will also get the opportunity to see the kinds of artisanal objects they craft, and even take one home to remember your experience here.

On this tour we will have a very comprehensive view of the most emblematic places of Panama such us what we call the "old town", Panama's second city founded in 1673, the Amador causeway founded by the Americans in 1910, and the defense battery of the Panama Canal. Our old town is actually a UNESCO declared World Heritage Site.

This Canal was completed in 1913 but wasn't inaugurated until a year later. We will also see the Bridge of the Americas which was founded in 1962 as the first bridge built over the Panama Canal, considered one of the top 10 engineering wonders of the world.
