The secret of the Panama hat
The famous Panama hat is actually woven in Ecuador. It took the isthmus's name because this is where it was sold to travelers and canal workers.
The world, told one step at a time.

Walk: when you arrive, the story opens
The map lets you know when you are there. Press play and the city tells you what happened on that spot.
-
Earn stamps and fill your passport
Every stop adds a stamp. Solve challenges, level up and keep postcards from your walk.
One secret, five corners.
This is how the launch tour sounds, in Panama's Casco Antiguo. The stories are linked: each one leaves a clue for the next.
-
Stop 1
Plaza de Francia
This city was born here in 1673, after the pirate Henry Morgan burned the first one. They say some gold was saved from him... and that it is still in the Casco.
-
Stop 2
The city walls
After Morgan, the city surrounded itself with walls so it would never happen again. But the secret was already inside, and someone was guarding it.
-
Stop 3
The friars
In the colonial city, the friars kept secrets that were never written down. They say one of them dared to trick the pirate.
-
Stop 4
National Theater
Its painted ceiling fools the eye: it looks like an open sky. What if what we are looking for was never hidden, only disguised?
-
Stop 5
Arco Chato
For centuries, everyone walked past this arch without looking at it. The hardest thing to see is what is right in front of you. The ending waits for you at San José.
Also along the way
- Metropolitan Cathedral
- Palacio Bolívar
- San José Church
Every place has its story narrated in English or Spanish, and its stamp waiting for you.

Before you head out.
How much does it cost?
Some stories are free so you can try the tour. To hear the full tour there will be a pass; we will publish its price at launch.
Does it only work in Casco Antiguo?
For now, yes: Panama's Casco Antiguo is the first destination. We will keep adding cities and countries; pre-register and we will let you know when new tours arrive.
Do I need an internet connection?
Not on the street. Before you head out, download the area (map and stories) and use the app offline for the whole walk.
Which languages is it in?
English and Spanish. You can switch the language of the app and the narration whenever you like.
Do I need to create an account?
Not to get started: you can try it without one. If you create an account, your progress, stamps and postcards stay with you even if you change phones.
How long is the tour?
As long as you want. Go at your own pace, in one afternoon or over several visits, and the app remembers where you left off.
Does it use my location?
Yes, to show you on the map and let you know when you reach a place with a story. It uses it while the app is open and, once you start a walk, also in the background, so it can alert you on arrival even with your screen locked (on Android you will see a persistent notification). Never when the app is closed. Alerts when you pass near a story without starting a walk are optional and turned on separately in Settings.
When does it launch?
Soon, on the App Store and Google Play. Pre-register and we will tell you that same day.
Questions? Write to us.
