Take your creation home with you as a souvenir of your visit to the Panamanian countryside. The learning of local culture continues as you are taught how to make "Torrejitas de Maiz" (corn tortillas), a traditional food in this local province of Los Santos. During the included lunch, dine on the famous "Sancocho en Lena" (a hearty dish cooked over a wood fire) while witnessing a dance presentation of 'El Diablico Sucio', another custom deeply rooted in Panamanian folklore. A highlight of the day may be the presentation of the Carnival Queen. The designer of the spectacular dress worn by the Queen explains how the dress can take up to four years to create. Her makeup artist also talks about how the Queen is prepared for the events of this 4-day celebration.

Our Tour Manager, Jolie, was outstanding. We were totally impressed with her professionalism, courtesy, empathy, and kindness. She is also informative and a lot of fun. She treated all of us with dignity and warmth. She kept us informed about departure times, meal times,and opportunities for self-touring. We appreciated her cheerful and fun-loving attitude. Our bus driver, Mike was terrific. Great driver, very professional, and personable. He went out of his way to transport us to different destinations and provided great service. The pick up service drivers, Steve and Ken were on-time, courteous and friendly.

First time with Mayflower Tours, it was great. We will travel with them again. The tour guide added optional attractions not listed on the tour itenerary which was a plus to us. Affordable Tours agent, Brendan, was great to deal with too. All and all a good experience.

This trip was amazing. It was exciting, interesting, and I appreciated the free time and flexibility to explore on my own. Elisabetta was an excellent tour specialist. I would travel with her again.
