In this riveting Expedia episode, we witness the dynamic duo of chef José and filmmaker Chevy embarking on a culinary odyssey through the vibrant streets of Panama. From the chaotic Mercado de Mariscos to the charming Casco Antiguo, they immerse themselves in the heart and soul of Panama's gastronomic scene. But it's not just about the food - it's a cultural exploration like no other.
Their journey takes them to a coffee farm where the secrets of Panama's renowned Geisha coffee are unveiled. The Lamastus family's dedication to excellence in coffee production is truly inspiring. As they sip on the exotic brew, the essence of Panama's rich soil and unique microclimates dances on their taste buds, leaving them craving for more.
Panama's iconic landmarks, from the awe-inspiring Panama Canal to the colorful Biomuseo, serve as a backdrop to their adventure. But it's the intimate encounter with the Emberá Parara Purú community that truly leaves a lasting impact. Here, amidst the lush surroundings, they discover the deep-rooted connection between the Emberá people, the land, and the wildlife.
As they venture to Portobelo, the air is thick with the rhythm of the Congo dance and the flavors of Afro-Panamanian traditions. The journey culminates on the tranquil shores of Isla Mamey, where they savor the simplicity of island life. And what better way to end this epic voyage of flavors and cultures than with a feast at Restaurante Adriana, where every dish tells a story of Panama's love and unity.
