Join us on a 7-hour tour of the less visited Fort San Lorenzo on Panama's Caribbean coast and the Panama Canal's Agua Clara locks. Your tour begins at 7:00 am. Your English-speaking friend and tour guide will pick you up at your accommodation in Panama City from where you will continue to the Agua Clara Locks, located approximately 1.5 hours away on the Caribbean side of the country. Visitors can take their time here and see the giant ships passing through the locks below. Stroll through the visitor center, watch an informative video or hike the nearby rainforest trail. Learn how engineers were able to raise Gatun Lake, build new locks and widen the existing canals to accommodate the huge New Panamax ships. Around 10:00 am, we continue to Fort San Lorenzo, arriving at 11:00 am. Marvel at the rich history of the well-preserved ruins as your guide explains the colorful history of this historic landmark. At 12:00 pm we return to Panama City and arrive at your hotel at 2:00 pm.

    Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980, the Fort of San Lorenzo is located at the mouth of the Chagres River on a promontory west of the Panama Canal. Despite its violent history, much of the original San Lorenzo fort is well preserved, including its moat, cannons and vaulted chambers.

El viaje es toda una experiencia! Desde el momento en que el guía nos pasó a buscar, ya sabíamos que iba a ser maravilloso, Gustavo nos contó detalles de Panama y si fundación, nos puso en tema en ecología y realidad... excelente el tren, nos ayudó a ubicarnos en el mejor lugar para la visita y luego las fortalezas y lugares visitados fueron preciosos. El auto súper limpio y siempre atento a las necesidades. Encontramos en el un amigo

Superb tour with the two guides Gustavo and Joseph just for us. They took every care of us, were knowledgeable and advised us of the sights with accuracy and humour. The train ride was very good and enjoyable experience; we decided to move out of the crowded do e car to enjoy a comfortable ride in the wood-panelled carriages with viewing platforms that allowed easier photography. The Fuerte San Lorenzo was very worthwhile and à key piece of Panamanian history. From there the journey along the Caribbean coast was a beautiful ride through authentic townships to the antique ‚pearl‘ of Portobelo: unchanged and unspoilt, it was a true glimpse into Panama‘s history in a stunning setting. The trip finished with a swimming opportunity on one of the coast‘s most charming beaches: no foreign tourists apart from we two. Superb. Wonderful guides, great fun and an excellent tour fir history buffs. No hesitation in recommending it, or even doing it again. Thanks Gustavo and Joseph !
