WELCOME DINNER
MAI MAI RESTURANT
To officially open the event, we enjoyed a welcome dinner at Mai Mai, one of the city’s most special culinary spaces.
With a proposal that blends Nikkei flavors, signature cocktails, and a vibrant atmosphere in Costa del Este, participants shared an evening of conversation, celebration, and connection.
The institutional opening was led by LAC Bridge President María Inés Morán, marking the beginning of an experience designed to strengthen the community and elevate the value of the chapter.
PANAMÁ CANAL VIP
EMBERÁ QUERA
SLPs and Bridge Alliance members enjoyed a specially designed experience connecting them with two of Panama’s most representative sides.
Some participants explored the Panama Canal through a VIP experience, getting closer to one of the world’s most important engineering and trade landmarks. Others immersed themselves in the Emberá Quera community, learning about its traditions, worldview, and way of life.
Two different journeys with one shared purpose: to broaden perspective, strengthen bonds, and create a lasting memory of the destination.
DINNER AT VILLA ANA 1928
SAN FELIPE
The evening at Villa Ana was a unique experience to connect in a setting full of history, design, and character.
Located in San Felipe, in the old part of the city, Villa Ana 1928 offered an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere, with spaces that combine an art gallery, restaurant, speakeasy, and rum and cigar bar.
A dinner designed to be fully present, engage in meaningful conversation, and enjoy one of Panama’s most special gems.
Gamboa bird watching
SLPs began the day by connecting with nature in Gamboa, one of Panama’s most biodiverse ecosystems.
Guided by specialists, they explored tropical forests internationally recognized for their extraordinary variety of birds, in an experience of calm, inspiration, and perspective before continuing with the day’s agenda.
A journey that reminded us of the importance of observing, learning, and connecting with our surroundings.
BIOMUSEO
The Biomuseo experience connected knowledge, culture, and reflection.
Inside this iconic space, participants explored Panama’s natural history and its impact on the planet’s biodiversity, discovering how science, nature, and evolution come together in a truly unique territory.
The afternoon continued with a horse show, cocktail, and dinner at the Biomuseo, creating an unforgettable cultural and social experience.
PANAMÁ VIEJO & CASCO ANTIGUO
HISTORY, CULTURE & CITY.
SLPs visited Panama Viejo, the place where the city was founded in 1519, exploring one of the most important historical sites in Latin America.
Later, attendees enjoyed a social activity in Casco Antiguo, walking through cobblestone streets, plazas, churches, restored balconies, and unique views of the ocean and the city’s modern skyline.
An experience that connected past and present, history and modernity, tradition and urban life.
CLOSING EVENT
ROOFTOP TERRAPLÉN
The closing event took place at Rooftop Terraplén, with an evening designed to celebrate everything learned, shared, and built throughout the Panama experience.
With dinner, an open bar, and a special atmosphere, participants closed the event through conversations, toasts, and meaningful moments that reflected the spirit of LAC Bridge: community, connection, and shared growth.
