You’ll be staying in a historic building, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and part of the Sofitel Legend collection.

This historic district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combines colonial charm with contemporary energy.

With your local guide, you’ll discover its cobbled streets, centuries-old churches, flower-filled balconies and sun-drenched squares. Here, every facade tells a story, and every street corner holds a surprise: elegant cafés, art galleries, local boutiques… right down to the trendy rooftops offering spectacular views of Panama Bay and its futuristic skyline.

Then head for the Miraflores locks, where you’ll enjoy a bird’s-eye view of all kinds of ships in transit (container ships, liners or tiny sailing boats…).

The Panama Canal is one ofthe most impressive sites to discover on a trip to Panama. This man-made waterway, some 80 kilometers long, links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, saving ships precious time by avoiding the long detour through South America. Built by the United States after the failure of an initial French project, the canal was inaugurated in 1914. It remained under American control for many years, before being officially returned to Panama on December 31, 1999.
