The Panama Canal is only a 10-15 minute drive from Casco Antiguo Spanish School. We highly recommend you take a few hours to visit the Miraflores Visitor Center to see one of the 7 Wonders of the World for yourself. If you sign up for Private lessons you can even visit it with your Spanish teacher! Here are a few ways you can get there:

  1. Pineapple shuttle offers tours that provide roundtrip transportation from Casco Vijejo directly to the Miraflores Visitor Center. The tour will also show you the second set of locks at Pedro Miguel as well as a glimpse of the Canal Expasion from the Centenial Bridge. We highly recommend this tour and at only $9 it’s a no brainer.
  2. Depending on traffic and surge pricing it should cost about $6 each way from Casco Viejo to the Miraflores Visitor Center. A taxi will cost about $10 each way.
  3. Public Transportation: Metro from 5 de Mayo ($.35) and a MetroBus ($.25) from Albrook Bus Terminal to the Miraflores Visitor Center. This is the cheapest way to get there and back but plan on taking at least an hour each way due to the connections with the bus.
