I lived in Panama for seven years and recently returned for a visit. On my list of things to do was to buy another piece of jewelry from Reprosa. I think the jewelry is lovely and well-priced. I was disappointed this trip at the limited selection in the Panama City Obarrio store. But if you are buying a trip momento...

Owner description:
Panama's ancient civilizations, cultural traditions, and natural treasures come to life in gold and silver. See how the preHispanic masterpieces are made by the same method as the ancient goldsmiths. Following a video presentation, walk a catwalk to a casting demonstration and try your hand at the sand blasting process. Showroom at factory prices also includes the finest collection of Panamanian handicrafts. Highly recommended by major travel guides. $10 admission. Refreshments and "goodie bag" included. Monday thru Friday at 9.30am and 2.00pm.

Thank you for your comments. I am most interested to find out which day your tour was booked for. We only have bi-lingual guides because 90% of our tours are conducted in English. I would really appreciate your reply in order that I can investigate this further. If you would like to contact me directly you can write to ams@reprosa.com....

On previous visits to Panama, we had been to the Reprosa shops in Casco Viejo and in Obarrio. On each occasion we purchased items, either for ourselves or unique gifts for others. This time we when to Coste del Este to tour the Reprosa workshop where we could watch the artisans at work. It was a fascinating, informative tour led...

On April 25, 2012 my wife & I & four of our friends toured Panama's Reprosa jewelry factory which is located in an industrial park in the Costa Del Este (East Coast) area of Panama City.
At the Reprosa factory skilled artesians create reproductions of Pre-Colombian Art... some Reprosa treasures are modestly priced - Silver & gold plated, but other...

We didn't go to the factory and so didn't get to see the factory tour, but we visited their small outpost in the financial district. Lots of good stuff. I bought my daughter a pair of frog-shaped earrings and got myself a silver bracelet. There is a variety of price points to choose from.

The ads are fantastic - the store does not live up to the expectations. The reproduction information is non-existant - I would like to learn something of Panama's Pre-Colombian history while I am there - not just buy jewelry.

I am so sorry that you were not able to visit our factory since you are particularly interested in Panama's pre-Columbian history. We offer a guided tour explaining how the ancient indians of Panama made their golden "huacas", which is virtually the same method we use in our reproductions. If you are still here or if you ever come back...

The store was small but the items on display were unique and beautiful. I was like a kid in a candy store didn't know what to look at first. After viewing all items on display - I brought home a very special and unique necklace. The sales person spoke Spanish and English and was helpful. If you are looking for...

For all the attractions in Panama City, this tour is a must.
For a small entrance fee ($10) you will receive an informative tour explaining detailed information about the history and symbolism of pre-Colombian artifacts and an in-depth explanation about the lost-wax process used to create replicas of artifacts. Tour overlooks the factory and has televisions/cameras set up so you...
