The Panama You've Never Seen | Casco Viejo to San Blas
In this episode of This Is Somewhere, I explore a side of Panama I honestly wasn’t expecting. From the historic streets and rooftop bars of Casco Viejo… to the massive ships passing through the Panama Canal… to the crystal-clear waters of San Blas Islands, this trip turned into way more than just a vacation video. Along the way, we dive into: Panama Canal history The rise of modern Panama City The Guna people and San Blas culture Rooftop nightlife in Casco Viejo Local Panamanian food and street eats Ceviche, pescado frito, sancocho, hojaldres & more Hidden local fondas The contrast between old and modern Panama What started as a trip to see the canal slowly became a journey through multiple worlds existing inside one country. ⸻ Raul - Tour Guide of old city 👉 +507 6630-8762 (Whatsapp) 🌎 Places Featured in This Episode: Casco Viejo Panama Canal Bridge of the Americas San Blas Islands Mercado de Mariscos CasaCasco Tantalo Roofbar ⸻ 🍽️ Foods Tried: Ceviche Pescado Frito Patacones Sancocho Hojaldres Ropa Vieja Arroz con Mariscos Chicharrones Seco Herrerano Ron Abuelo Rum ⸻ 🎥 In the next episode, we head deep into the jungle to spend the day with the Emberá tribe — traveling upriver by canoe, hiking to waterfalls, witnessing traditional ceremonies, and learning about the challenges Indigenous communities face today. ⸻ #Panama #PanamaCity #SanBlas #PanamaCanal #CascoViejo #PanamaTravel #TravelDocumentary #LatinAmericaTravel #PanamaVlog #ThisIsSomewhere #TravelFilm #GunaYala #PanamanianFood #CinematicTravel #CraigLou ⸻ 🌍 Travel With Me Planning your own adventure?
