Descrição do tour
Panama is a crossroads and its food shows it: Spanish, Afro-Caribbean, Indigenous, Chinese and American influences all in one small country, plus a fish market ten minutes' walk from a UNESCO old town.
We start at the Mercado de Mariscos, where the boats land. Downstairs, at a counter, ceviche de corvina is sold in a plastic cup for a couple of dollars - sea bass cured in lime with onion and celery, eaten with a small spoon standing up. It is the best cheap thing in the country. Your guide will take you through the variations: pulpo, camaron, mixto.
Then we walk the Cinta Costera seawall into Casco Viejo, the old town the Spanish rebuilt in 1673 after Henry Morgan burned the first one down. Here: sancocho, the chicken and yam soup with culantro that Panamanians eat for a hangover and for comfort; carimanolas, yuca fritters stuffed with beef; hojaldras and ropa vieja at a cafe that claims to be the oldest in the country.
We finish with a raspado - shaved ice with fruit syrup and condensed milk - and an artisanal sorbet in guanabana or maracuya.
Small group, maximum 8 guests, entirely on foot.

Outros avisos
Runs Sunday and Tuesday to Saturday at 09:30. We do not run on Mondays, when the fish market traditionally closes for cleaning.
Safety: Panama is rated Level 2, exercise increased caution, and the risk is opportunistic - pickpocketing and bag snatching. Casco Viejo is restored, well policed and comfortable to walk. The neighbourhoods immediately west of it, including El Chorrillo, are not, and our route does not enter them. We stay inside the restored grid and the seawall.
Currency: Panama uses the US dollar, so there is no exchange to deal with. The fish market is cash; Casco Viejo restaurants take cards.
Water: Panama City's tap water is generally safe to drink, which is unusual in the region and makes this an easy tour on that front. We still provide bottled water.
Ceviche is raw fish. The market has very high turnover and this is the one place in the country where we are relaxed about it, but tell us if you would rather everything were cooked.
Wet season runs May to December; the dry season from January to mid-April is the best walking weather.
Dietary needs: tell us at least 48 hours ahead.
About 2.5 km of walking, flat, on pavement and cobbles.
