The Treasures of Panama Tour

Tour $10 per person, Monday thru Friday at 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Since 1975 REPROSA has been dedicated to the promotion of Panama's history, cultural traditions, ecological beauty and ethnic diversity. Our unique collections of gold and silver handicrafts have won fame and notoriety at World Fairs and International Orchid Exhibitions; and our framed pieces have found a place in the palaces of Monarchs, homes of Presidents and in embassies throughout the world. Our gold “Holy Ghost Orchid,” Panama's national flower, may even be seen in the Vatican!

Treasures of Panama Tour, at our workshop, just minutes away from the ruins of Panama Viejo, you will meet an informed guide who will demonstrate how we reproduce the fabulous gold artifacts of Panama's Museum of Anthropology, using virtually the same methods as the ancient goldsmiths. (You can even try your hands at the process!)

You will discover the secrets to making the exotic rainforest orchids in precious metals, find out the difference between a piece of eight and a doubloon, a Pacific and Atlantic sand dollar --- and even why we make little gold “worms!"
