Parking in Casco the Easy Way
Casco Viejo, Panama Have you ever heard: “can´t find parking in Casco”, “had to park on top of a sidewalk”, “parked on a corner and got my car scratched” (if not more). Every day, visitors in Casco jump through hoops to get parking. And yet, there is a full parking building in the old town. What`s the catch? absolutely nothing: just no one is aware that it even exists. When pointed, most people go “ahhhh!” . So I`m hereby sharing the secret spot: Plaza Herrera. How to get to the parking building: if you are coming from Cinta Costera and … Continue reading
Panama Photos 1941 National Geographic Magazine
Panama, Casco Viejo, Casco Antiguo Coming back to Panama from a recent trip, we stopped at Albuquerque and hit some antique stores.

Since today we are celebrating the foundation of “Panama La Vieja”, I thought it would be a good moment to put these out there! Plaza Santa Ana Aerial photo I think this is at Las Bóvedas, the surf wave: Plaza Arango, also known as the “Lottery Plaza” Plaza … Continue reading
Today! Save the Frog at American Trade Hotel
Panama Casco Viejo, Casco Antiguo The Golden Frog is a symbol of national pride but also a source of preoccupation on our scientific and environmentalist community. The frog only exists in El Valle, Panama, and walks the tight rope of extinction. Efforts have been made to reproduce it in captivity (successful!) but tons of work still lies ahead. The good part is that the “frog team” is highly motivated. Some years ago, they created the Golden Frog Festival, and every year they do several activities to fund raise for research and conservation. Today, they`ll be at the American Trade Hotel … Continue reading
