theessentials_masa_tWhere to stay: American Trade Hotel. Located in the historic Old Quarter, the hotel is within spitting distance of
the area’s cobblestone streets, painted doorways, beautiful ruins, and outdoor marketplaces where Kuna Indians sell their crafts.

theessentials_masa_tHow to acclimate: Esperanza Social Venture Club’s Fortaleza Tours. Walks are guided by former gang members. For $10 per person they promise you will “never look at our streets the same way again.”

 theessentials_masa_tWhat to explore: Biomuseo. The Frank Gehry designed museum dedicated to Panama’s biodiversity opened in October.
theessentials_masa_tWhere to browse: DiabloRosso. The artist collective showcases the work of up-and-comers, some of whose pieces have been purchased by the Tate and Guggenheim museums.
