The pretty deserted museum (entrance free) on the slopes of Cerro Ancon showcases the different ethnicities of Panama. There are several artisans producing curios. The museum is across the highway from El Chorrillo neighborhood, which has experienced some crime targeting tourists in the past, so be mindful.

Cerro Ancón or Ancon Hill is the tallest peak in Panama City. There is a fairly well-trafficked paved road heading to the summit that is used by local hikers, ambitious cyclists and a few tourists. It's only about a 15-minute walk from the trail head near Mi Pueblito. The summit has viewpoints looking out at Casco Viejo, the new town and the canal.
El Chorrillo represents the cultural richness of Panama and the social challenges faced by a marginalized urban community. The neighborhood maintains a strong community spirit. Its street culture, mural art, and passion for boxing and football are essential to its identity. Admire colorful urban murals, visit the Maracaná Stadium, or join a guided community tour to learn about the neighborhood’s history and local culture. Visit with local guides or in a group, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area. Some parts may not be safe for solo tourists.
A museum dedicated to the history and advancement of human rights in Panama and around the world. Displays are all in Spanish but tours in English can be arranged in advance.
