On a Panama Canal tour, you could start with a visit to the Miraflores Locks, followed by the Canal Expansion Observation Center in Colón, which offers views of the new locks.

Finally, a visit to the Canal Museum in Casco Viejo would provide historical context to your adventure.

About The Panama Canal

The Panama Canal, an extraordinary feat of engineering, has had a profound impact on global trade and continues to be a vital shipping route. This 50-mile-long waterway connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, allowing ships to avoid the treacherous Cape Horn route at the southernmost tip of South America. The creation of the canal was one of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken. Visiting the Panama Canal is not just about appreciating its scale, but also understanding the human endeavor, history, and ecological issues associated with its construction and operation.
