Peek into a country bathed by two oceans


The visit starts with a virtual tour of Panama, on a maritime expedition which reveals the geographical position of this country and its privileged relationship with the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Only afterwards will you dive into Panamanian daily life. A circular cinema receives a gigantic audiovisual projection and leads visitors to live intensely a day in Panama. The aim is to enamour hearts and win over the public.

Once curiosity has been aroused, the tour continues through a second exhibition area, where multimedia dominates. Here, visitors can discover other facets of the country and learn more about its commitment to ecotourism. For gastronomy lovers, there is a restaurant with traditional food.

Panama-Isla Contadora is the name of the floating Panamanian restaurant, where visitors can enjoy typical dishes and international cuisine
