Panama Day 4

The girls started early again on day 4, our last full day in Panama. We planned a morning tour with Ancon Expeditions to take a Jungle Cruise in Parque National Sobernia, a national park near the banks of the Panama Canal and Gatun Lake. We started with a 45 minute drive to the boat launch. We had an awesome guide, Gabe, who brought us up close and personal with toucans, monkeys, baby crocodiles, the smallest bats in the world, and large cargo ships in the canal! We finished our tour by picking up beers in an interior province. Great tour!









In the afternoon, we headed to Panama Viejo to see the old Panama City and former capital of the country. What remains are only ruins of the town. A large tower for the original cathedral has been restored to enable visitors to climb the tower and overlook what remains of this world heritage site.





With Gabe's recommendation, we ended our day at Las Tinajas, a dinner show featuring folkloric dancers and drummers. The meal was awesome and the dancers and drummers were great. They invited Trisha and a couple of other audience members to dance on stage at the end of the show, which was really fun! We also enjoyed a nice walk home after the show!
