MUST-VISIT: Casco Viejo!

If you are Panamanian you should be thinking "Damn, this place is so overrated.. bla bla bla" but if you're not Panamanian you would deff value every single piece of this diamond God has given to this beautiful country: Casco Viejo. I woke up so early today because i had to shoot some scenes for my next short film with my friends (Actually one of my final exams for next week! teehee). We start shooting on Casco Viejo and I've never been there so early 'til today.

I really don't regret waking up so early because despite the idiotic heat, the environment was BRILLIANT! Casco Viejo is Panama's old city and you can deff enjoy all the historic and beautiful architecture, museums, nice restaurants. It's actually the main touristic spot on these days here in Panama.. It's one of the best scenarios for photoshoot, filming and everything related with arts. Also, i was lucky because today was the Flea Market (Yeah, Liz.. i remembered you in there) and it was cool.. lot's of great articles!

-Panamanian pals: You should try to value more our cultural spots.. You should try to go early (8:00am) one day. YOU WON'T REGRET!
-Foreign pals: You MUST-VISIT this place when you come to Panama! :)

I leave you with a great website for you to get more into Casco Viejo.. I hope you come here and visit.. I'm sure it won't dissapoint you!! CLICK HERE!
