Description

A country’s food says a lot about the culture and the people. Learn about the local food, in tandem with learning about the culture and social issues the country faces today. I talk about and show the areas many people who visit will never see of the three original neighborhoods. With this food and society tour, you will explore the local food and a hidden bar, with a stop at the best local seafood (not the touristic fish market) for ceviche, local beer, and other goodies. At the local cafe we will taste the best food in Santa Ana. We will go to my favorite fonda (local restaurant) The Black Door that has the best fried chicken around. On the way to these places, I tend to take side routes for small tastings of other foods (my favorites are a unique pastry to the Las Tablas area and Chinese with a Panamanian flare). We will see how the locals shop for food on the journey and then then head into Casco Viejo for an evening cocktail. Be prepared to eat quite a bit! All the food and drinks ordered by the host are included in the ticket price. I customize the trip for people who have dietary restrictions. * If you would like to do a coffee experience there will be an additional fee. I will need several days to coordinate the experience.

I will be the tall and thin white guy in a beat-up small brimmed black hat.
