Portobelo Tour

👍👍 Francesco is the real deal, very knowledgeable about the history of the area, personable and a generous tour guide. We went snorkeling and exploring the wildlife and ecosystems along the coastline for the day. We went to 3 beaches and had a wonderful time. Would do it again!

Agua Clara Locks Visitor Center

Observation deck

👍👍 I had the opportunity to visit both the Miraflores Locks in Panama City and the Agua Clara Locks in Colón. If you are visiting Panama and want to see the Locks, but can only see one, I would recommend the Agua Clara Locks. While it is nearly a 2-hour drive from Panama City, the experience is far su...

Gatun Locks

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Panama Canal locks lift the ships 85 feet up to enter the Panama canal and Gatun Lake. Why we need to lift the ships when both the sides of canal is having sea? The reason is the Panama canal and the Gatun Lakes are made on ground hundreds feet above the sea level.. Digging the canal to sea level i...

Panama Rainforest Discovery Center

Visitor center

👍👍 Worth the $30 (for tourists) to walk the very nice trails, climb the observation tower, and watch the hummingbirds at the feeders.
