 TOUR  DESCRIPTION

On this tour you will learn the history of Panama City as you sketch the steps of the Spanish Conquistadors. Discover the  three cities in one: Old Panama, Colonial Panama, and Modern Panama and how Panama City became the most important trade center of the New World.

Following, we will meet Panama’s mega-attraction which took 250,000 people from all corners of the globe and more than 20 years to build, the Panama Canal at the Miraflores Locks and  observe 90,000-ton vessels rise and drop more than 50 feet as they make their way over Panama from one ocean to another and enjoy an audiovisual presentation that describes how ships pass through this engineering wonder.     

The visitor centre has 4 exhibition halls: Canal History, Water - the Source of Life, The Canal in Action and the Canal of the World.

We will stop for a typical lunch at the Amador Causeway, located at the mouth of the Panama Canal and bordering the beautiful bay of Panama City, with spectacular 360 degree views and pleasant sea breezeJ
