Walking Tour of Casco Viejo (Coffee + Chocolate)

Explore Panama City's historical center on foot. Casco Viejo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where centuries of history are preserved in its buildings and cobblestone streets. We'll begin at the Mola Museum, a fun and quick museum dedicated to the textile art of Panama's indigenous Kuna people. From there, we'll stop at one of Casco's renown coffee houses for a cup of Geisha coffee — one of the world's most prized brews, known for its rich, complex flavor. Next, we'll stroll through Plaza Francia, where sweeping ocean views set the backdrop for a vibrant artisanal market showcasing handmade Kuna art and crafts. We'll round out the tour at the Museo del Chocolate, where Panama's cacao heritage gets its due. Throughout the walk, I'll share the stories, legends, and local perspective to make the trip fun and informative.
