About this experience

What to expect

Start your journey in a rehabilitated local market that preserves the spirit of Panamanian commerce since the mid-20th century. Begin with tropical fruit tastings and traditional sweet flavors before moving through the market’s animal products section, where you’ll learn about whole-animal cooking and the Afro-Caribbean roots of one of Panama’s most beloved traditional dishes. Continue with a stop at local fondas, where the Panamanian “plate of the day” reflects the country’s everyday food culture. Then head toward the seafood market, where the city’s close connection to the sea comes alive through fresh catches and artisanal fishing culture. Along the way, enjoy a ceviche stop, a refreshing local drink by the waterfront, and a walk through historic streets that reveal the contrast between old Panama and the modern skyline. The experience ends at a historic café with classic local snacks and coffee.
