Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador)

We are going to drive through The Amador Causeway, which is a 4-kilometer avenue that links the mainland part of the city to four islands - Naos, Perico, Culebra, and Flamenco. The avenue's construction was accomplished using materials extracted during the building of the canal. The views of the city, the Bridge of the Americas, and the passage of ships entering or leaving the canal are breathtaking. At night, the view of the Amador Causeway is spectacular. The avenue has several restaurants, coffee shops, and ice cream parlors, as well as a bike path. At the end of the avenue, visitors can find the famous Panama sign, which is perfect for taking photos.

Julio had remarkable knowledge of all places that we visited, especially the Biomuseo. He had a good grasp of Panama's history and the history of the canal. He was a very experienced driver and was flexible with our time. He had great english skills. His van was clean and a reliable form of transportation.

Aura was a wonderful guide. The tour was a bit challenging due to rain. Not a drizzle but very dark clouds with big downpours off and on so she timed our in door activities when it was raining and when we were done inside the rain outside wasn't bad. She was aware of the timing for ships traversing the locks and made sure we didn't have a long wait and even sent me a video of it moving through the locks. The bio museum was interesting and there was plenty of time to see all of it. Aura also gave me some suggestions for restaurants near my hotel which was helpful. For me the highlight of the tour was the canal.
Excellent Excursion and Enterprise.
