  • Panama Canal Administration Building, Panama City, Panama
    Located on a hill within the old Canal Zone, this imposing Italianate Revival-style building was opened on July 15, 1914. Taking advantage of the natural light and elevated environment, it offers a unique architectural experience. Upon entering, you will be impressed by its central dome, high ceilings, dramatic murals, towering columns and marble floor. The main roundabout is the heart of the building, where elegance blends with history. One of the highlights is its pink Tennessee marble staircase, accompanied by a refined mahogany handrail, symbol of the luxury with which it was built. This point forms a key part of the Panama Canal tour, as it represents not only the canal’s engineering, but also the cultural legacy of the time. An unmissable visit for lovers of Panamanian history, architecture and identity.

    The Panama Canal has three lock systems, two of which are located on the Pacific side. The Miraflores Locks are the closest to Panama City and represent one of the most emblematic points to observe the operation of the Canal. There is the Miraflores Visitor Center, an interactive space that offers an educational and visual experience. Inside, visitors can appreciate models, mechanical models, historical objects and a series of informative videos that allow to understand the magnitude of this engineering work. From its terraces, you can watch live the transit of large vessels through the gates, while expert guides explain every detail of the process. It is an unmissable stop for those who want to know in depth the history, functioning and impact of the Panama Canal worldwide.

  • Agua Clara Locks, Colon, Panama
    The Aguas Claras Locks are part of the Panama Expanded Canal, also known as the "Next Generation Canal". Located on the Atlantic coast near the city of Colón, these locks were opened in 2016 as part of the expansion project that allows the passage of large ships, known as neo-panamax. The modern Aguas Claras Visitor Center offers breathtaking views from a covered viewpoint, where visitors can watch in real time as these giant vessels transit through the new locks. In addition, it has ecological paths and educational areas that explain the operation of the hydraulic system, the technology used and its environmental impact. This experience allows us to appreciate the magnitude of one of the most important engineering works of the 21st century and perfectly complements the visit to the historical locks of Miraflores.
    90 minutes
  • Colón, Panama
    On the Atlantic coast of Panama is the city of Colón, a vibrant city, rich in history and known for its Caribbean cuisine, its Afro-Antilian roots and its strategic location. Columbus is home to the Columbus Free Zone, one of the most important free zones in Latin America. This first-generation commercial area functions as a great center for importing, storing, packing and re-exporting products from all over the world. In addition to its economic role, the city offers a unique cultural experience with a mix of colonial architecture, local traditions and intense flavors. Its proximity to the locks of Aguas Claras and the Panama Canal makes it an ideal stop to complement any tour of the country.

I really enjoyed to visit the different locks along the Panama Canal. Especially the visit at the new Locks (Aguas Clares) was really a scoop (but I could have used much more time here). And by a very good luck I saw the cruise ship (which I was going to sail onboard north via the canal two days later) heading south towards Panama City. Everybody talk about saling on he Panama Canal. but was also very interesting for me to watch the ship movements from "the shores" of the canal.

Edgar was a knowledgeable tour guide and we were fortunate to have had him as our tour guide. However, contrary to the advertised description of the tour it does NOT include lunch. Beware of this because you will need to take a snack with you. The trip is long and you will get hungry along the way. This is important!

Vi kom till Colon i Panama på morgonen med kryssningsbåten, det var bara att sätta sig på en buss och åka ca: 1,5 tim. innan vi var framme vid Panamakanalen. Där hoppade vi på en båt med plats för 400 personer. Ni var vi bara 7st bussar så runt 340 personer. Det var varmt i luften men regn till och från, fanns platser under tak att sitta på. båten hade guider som hela tiden pratade om kanalen och dess historia på minst 4-5 olika språk. Vi åkte ca:30 min fram till den första slussen som skulle ta oss mer 8 meter innan vi kon ut på en sjö. Häftigt att dessa slussar styrs endast med själv tryck inget pumpande av vatten, Sedan åkte vi vidare på sjön och blev bjudna på dricka och mat under tiden vi närmade oss nästa sluss. Denna var i två steg så 8 +8 meter till skulle vi för att komma ner till havsnivå med Stilla havet. Slussarna (dom gamla) är ganska långa och det kostar massor att åka här, allt styrs på vikterna. Vikt på last och båt, de största containerfartygen får betala runt 1,2 miljon/ resa. Panama får in 40% av hela sin kassa varje år, detta används till gamla, skola och sjukvård för alla invånare. Ändå ser man vilket fattigt land detta är men också rikt och modernt. Enn upplevelse som tar runt 4tim samt 2+2 timmarbuss åter till Colon. Båten lägger till i huvudstaden Panama.
