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.

Historical context and tropical fruit tastings (guanábana, borojó, orange with raspadura, tamarind sweets) Start your journey at Mercado San Felipe Neri, an emblematic site whose name honors San Felipe Neri. The current building is a rehabilitated gem that preserves the essence of Panamanian popular commerce since the mid-20th century. Begin with a sensory introduction through tropical fruit tastings. Enjoy natural juices while learning about guanábana, prized for its medicinal properties, and borojó, known as the “fruit of love” in the Darién region. Taste refreshing orange with raspadura, the artisanal sugarcane sweetener that has fed Panamanian campesinos for centuries, along with traditional tamarind sweets.
Continue into the heart of the market, exploring the animal products section and learning about the importance of using the whole animal in subsistence gastronomy. Here, you will be introduced to Sao, a pickled pig’s foot dish with deep Afro-Caribbean roots that arrived during the construction of the Canal and became a staple of popular celebrations.

5.00It was a wonderful experience. We had a taste of Panama's food that people love every day. We also went through a food market with a diversity of vegetables and all kinds of meats. Our guide was very nice and extremely knowledgeable of Panama's life and culture. She also spoke very good English.

5.00The Tour was wonderful and Catherine the Toyr guide made it a wonderful and personable experience. It was 10 out of 10 experience and I would recommend it to anyone coming to Panama for the first time especially the Casco Viego area. It wasn’t too long and it wasn’t too short.. Caroline was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The tour didn’t feel rushed. It moved at a moderate pace for everyone..

5.00You will experience the REAL Panama with Catherine - an energetic, insightful, and knowledgeable tour guide. Catherine will ensure that you visit all the highlights and TASTE the city: fresh squeezed juices from fruits you’ve likely never seen; smoky roasted pork, grilled chicken and traditional bacalao (salted cod fish); your choice of ceviche (we didn’t know there were so many different types!). A well-paced three hours learning the history of the country and the people but with sweet treats! Catherine was warm and embraced us like family; because of her, we have a wonderful appreciation for Panama. Muchas gracias, Catherine!!
