This is the second time I have taken this tour, this time as a tour leader. When I first saw this jewelers studio, I though, ah this I have to show to others, as it is so unique for at least two reasons, one that the history of Panama is preserved and the way the pre-colombian inhabitants made their jewelry...

After trying to find to place we were very disappointed tat the shop was padlocked. We double checked the day & time. It was Thursday after 10am, the sign said... More

This is my second trip to Panama and to Reprosa. I wanted to take my friends to show them the tour and they were not disappointed. Apart from the very interesting tour which shows you how the pre-Columbian Indians of Panama made their gold pieces and how these pieces are reproduced, they have the absolute best selection of handicrafts anywhere...

I just visited the factory. I am traveling alone and they were more than happy to take me thru it solo. The tour guide was very knowledgable and enthusiastic. I really enjoyed the history of it all but the jewelry is really quite amazing! Probably not a kids trip but thought it a great afternoon trip.

I visited the store in Casco Viejo. It's one block off Avenida Central and about 3 blocks down from Plaza Herrera. The sales lady was extremely nice and helpful. I made some possible selections for my two granddaughters and said I wanted to think about it. When I came back later she had saved everything for me. The quality is... More

We so enjoyed our first tour at Reprosa in Costa del Este that we went back when friends came to visit Panama. It is well worth seeing more than once. We learned more the second time around, and our friends were amazed. The guide, Igua, is very well informed and has a great sense of humor. Do raise your hand... More

The actual store is not even worth the 3 minutes it would take to look over it. Perhaps, the tour is better? Unfortunately, it was only available on a limited basis and despite our 3 afternoons of availability, not do-able.

Interesting being shown all the stages in how they make the reproductions. I even got to try my hand at polishing. They show a short film first and give you a local drink. At the end everyone gets a goodie bag, including a bottle of the local booze, some hot sauce and some snacks.
