Flavors Of Panama

OVERVIEW

Enjoy the ultimate foodie experience by sampling Panamanian specialties while walking through atmospheric Casco Antiguo. This district in nearby Panama City is so historically important that UNESCO declared it a World Heritage site for preserving its original street plan and unusual mix of French and Spanish architecture. Your immersion into the cuisine will begin with a cup of highly acclaimed Geisha coffee, whose beans are grown in the Panamanian highlands. The flavor will be noticeably complex with floral notes. Chocolate pairs beautifully with coffee as you will discover during a tasting at the I Love Panama Chocolate café. Besides savoring a selection of handmade sweets, you will learn so much about the chocolate-making process that you can create your own chocolate bar. Another tasting awaits at La Rana Dorada, a brewpub where you will be served a pint of craft beer that best expresses the local ingredients.
