Step back more than 500 years and explore the rich — and often overlooked — history of African ancestry in Panama. This walking journey unfolds through two defining chapters: the colonial era, marked by the harsh realities of slavery and powerful acts of resistance, and the West Indian migrations — a period of labor, resilience, and cultural legacy that helped shape Panama’s identity.

• Our walk begins in Casco Antiguo, moving beyond the former walls that once divided the elite from the working-class community of Santa Ana.

• We continue along Central Avenue, a vibrant area filled with stories and local life.

• Then we visit the Afro-Antillean Museum to explore the lives and contributions of West Indian migrants who helped build the nation.

Optional: Lunch at San Felipe Neri Market for local comfort food and a refreshing natural juice. Book the Walking Experience + Lunch option.

This experience invites you to discover the shadows and lights that shape Afro-Panamanian heritage.

This tour was one of the highlights of my visit to Panama. The guide is well organized, energetic, informative and just gives a great tour for the price. There is a lot of walking so this isn’t suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The tour was about 2.5 hours.
