• HISTORY: Altos de Amador or Amador Heights, is a small private neighborhood which was part of the American Canal Zone during most of the 20th century. The rural-like road that takes you to Edificio Amador Hill used to be referred to as “Top Brass Road” because the top US naval officers resided in this favorable location. There are very few titled properties on the Amador Causeway.

• LOCATION: Amador is becoming one of the most beautiful and well-developed areas in Panama City, due to its privileged geographic position at the Panama Canal entrance. Its three islands Naos, Perico and Flamenco, connected by the famous “Causeway,” originally built with the dredging from the building of the Canal, has been expanded to four lanes with other modern upgrades. The Causeway has recently been directly connected to the brand new Cinta Costera 3 roadway which circles Casco Viejo.

• ACTIVITIES: Along the Causeway there always is a gentle breeze, and a beautiful panoramic view toward the Pacific Ocean and to the ships navigating to and from the Panama Canal, and the Bridge of Americas. On the opposite side, a view toward the Panama City shore, with its skyscrapers and Casco Viejo enlighten this charming coast. On the Causeway, you can jog, walk, skate, or rent a bike. Shops, a wide variety of seaside restaurants, bars, marinas, and a few hotels and condos have proliferated since the end of the Canal Zone days.

• ATTRACTIONS: The long-awaited Biodiversity Museum, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, has opened. A huge modern convention center to replace the current Atlapa Convention Center in San Francisco has been completed on the Causeway.
