하이라이트

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.

  • 5Awesome Tour

    We really enjoyed this tour. So far, my favorite experience in my little time in Panama. I learned a lot about Afro Panamanian culture and I am even more inspired to get to know about the culture in my own country. Gabriel did a great job guiding us and the information was very clear, interesting and invited us to reflect. I loved everything: the snack, the dance, walking to the museum (so you can see beyond Casco Viejo hehe) and the museum itself. Highly recommended ❤️

  • 5Love that St. Kitts and Nevis were recognized.

    If you’re interested in the Afro Panamanian experience this is the tour for you. Our guide (Gabriel) was very thorough and knowledgeable about the subject. Walking down to the museum was a lively experience. Gabriel’s presentation at the museum was very informative. I definitely recommend this tour.

  • 5The Best Part of Visiting Panama

    This was the highlight of my time in Panamá. Gabriel was an amazing guide. He gave us so much info and really made it a personalized experience. To learn so much about my people and history and to see the real people of Panama was amazing. I will have to do this tour again the next time I visit with my family and hopefully Gabriel is our tour guide once again.

  • 5Fun way to explore the city

    A quick heads-up before you book: this excursion has a meet-up location in the city center rather than hotel pickup, so give yourself enough time to get there. The meeting point is central and easy to find, so getting there was pretty straightforward. Our tour guide, Gabriel, was fantastic! He arrived right on time, was extremely knowledgeable, kind, patient, and bilingual in English and Spanish. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed sharing the history and culture of the city with us. This is a walking tour, but thankfully the pace was very reasonable and comfortable for different fitness levels. We made several interesting stops, including the museum and a local market, where we got to experience local food, lunch, and fresh juice. And the little extras made the experience even better! The tour provided water, a traditional pastry/patty as a historic treat, and a small take-home souvenir. The group itself was fun and engaging, which definitely added to the experience. One of my favorite moments was getting to enjoy a conga dance performance in the park such a fun and unexpected way to experience the local culture! Overall, this was a great cultural experience with a fun mix of history, food, walking, music, and local traditions. Gabriel made the tour especially enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a more authentic way to explore the city beyond the typical tourist stops.

  • 5A Must-Do Experience in Panama — 100% Recommended!

    Shadow & Light Afro-Panamanian Tours provided one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Our guide was not only incredibly well-informed on every aspect of Afro-Panamanian history and culture, but his passion for sharing his culture was truly inspiring. From deep historical context to vibrant local cultural details, I walked away with a whole new perspective and appreciation for the community. I highly recommend this tour 100% to anyone looking for a meaningful and enriching experience!

About Panama City

Panama City is the capital at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal, with a colonial old quarter, a glittering skyline and rainforest at its edge.

Panama City sits on the Pacific coast beside the entrance to the Panama Canal, and ships queue in the bay for the passage. The Miraflores Locks, a short drive from the centre, let visitors watch vessels being raised and lowered. Casco Viejo, the old quarter founded in 1673, has restored colonial plazas, churches and balconied houses, and the Amador Causeway runs out into the bay with views back to the skyline.

Top-ranked sights in Panama City: Casco Viejo, Panama Canal, Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador).
