• With all my respects, I ask the ladies to take in consideration that we will walk through places that are not so touristy and with a different culture and education, so you must be prudent with your clothing ( not very short pants, miniskirts, very low cut blouses), to avoid hearing ungentlemanly phrases.
• Also, please remember to wear appropriate clothing to have access inside the churches on the tour ( not very shorts pants, miniskirts, or shirts that leave the shoulders uncovered) .

• If you plan to take this tour immediately you arrive in Panama City and your flight does not land at least 4 hours before the tour; there is a big possibility that you will not arrive on time for it.
• The tour may be canceled if the minimum number of participants required is not reached or due to weather conditions.
• Please keep an eye on your email; in case the tour must be canceled you will be informed through this channel.

NOTES:

•  In Panama, it is alway recommended to be prepared for a lot of suns or a lot of rain. you never know for sure.
• If it is raining very hard there is a chance that the activity will be canceled.
• If you are driving, you must use the SPI parking lots that are at the beginning of the CINTA COSTERA  3 (they are free) and then walk to the meeting point.  there are no parking lots near the meeting point.  If you use the parking lots that are inside CASCO VIEJO, this will drastically change the magic of the activity.
