Forget the fruits you know. In Panama, the markets hide flavors so rare that even seasoned travelers have never seen them. Guided by a local host, you’ll walk through colorful stalls where each tasting comes with a story, learning why certain fruits are used for energy, others for comfort, and how local communities have relied on them for centuries. What begins as a tasting quickly becomes a window into Panama’s biodiversity and cultural roots. This experience feels less like a tour and more like discovering the country through the people who live it. Every stop brings a new surprise, and every fruit becomes a memory you’ll want to share. Groups are intentionally small and many fruits depend on the season, meaning no two tours are ever the same. And by the end, you’ll carry with you the genuine memory of having lived Panama the way locals do - walking their markets, tasting what they eat, and connecting with traditions most visitors never get to see.
