Join us in this car drive through Casco Viejo. As we pass the streets we will see the nice sights that Casco Viejo has to offer.

As you walk along the wide roads paved with red bricks, you will come upon beautiful courtyards, renovated old buildings with ornately elegant balconies brimming over with ornamental plants, and obelisks and marble plaques laid out to commemorate the effort of the French in building the Panama Canal.

View of the Sea from Casco Viejo. Pretty romantic!

The view of the sea from Casco Viejo is breathtaking. It’s not only romantic but it also takes you hundreds of years ago when the Spanish came for the first time to this spot in the world.
