• Panama City - Starting Point: Panama City

Guests will be picked up from their hotel in Panama City. The guide will meet them at the main entrance on the ground floor, verify their identity, and escort them to their seat. Once all participants are on board, the journey by car to Panama’s Caribbean Coast in Colón will commence.

• Puente Atlántico - The Atlantic Bridge, completed in August 2019, is an architectural wonder connecting the city of Colón to communities across the Panama Canal. It stretches 4.6 kilometers (2.9 miles) and rises 75 meters (246 feet) above the canal, allowing massive Neo-Panamax ships to pass underneath.

This cable-stayed bridge is among the few globally that spans a canal while remaining operational, offering breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea to the north and the bustling canal locks to the south. On one side, visitors can admire the Agua Clara Locks, observing enormous vessels navigate the canal, and on the other, the lush tropical rainforest that characterizes Panama’s natural beauty.

Designed to enhance connectivity and facilitate trade, the Atlantic Bridge is not only a functional piece of infrastructure but also a symbol of Panama’s progress and innovation.

• Fort San Lorenzo - San Lorenzo National Park is a historical and natural gem, nestled within Panama’s lush tropical rainforest. Visitors can explore the San Lorenzo Fortress, a historic Spanish castle perched atop a cliff overlooking the Chagres River and the Caribbean Sea. As they walk through the ruins, they can imagine the battles fought here to protect Spanish trade routes from pirate attacks.

The park also features a Visitor Center, where exhibits detail the rich history of the fortress and its strategic importance. During the American military presence in Panama, this area played a key role in protecting the canal and regional security.

The journey to the castle is equally breathtaking, winding through dense rainforest teeming with biodiversity, including howler monkeys, sloths, and vibrant tropical birds. San Lorenzo National Park is an unforgettable blend of culture, history, and nature waiting to be explored.

• Shelter Bay Marina - Situated near the entrance to the Panama Canal on the Caribbean side, Shelter Bay Marina is a premier destination for sailors and yacht enthusiasts. Nestled in Cristobal, Colón, this marina offers a serene setting surrounded by the lush San Lorenzo National Park, combining convenience with natural beauty.

With modern amenities, the marina features spacious berths, a fuel dock, a boatyard with repair services, and a chandlery. Its sheltered location makes it a safe haven during inclement weather, while its proximity to the canal ensures it’s a strategic stop for vessels crossing between oceans.

Visitors can enjoy the marina’s restaurant and bar, making it the perfect spot to stop for lunch while exploring the area. The delicious cuisine and relaxing atmosphere come highly recommended. Combined with nearby attractions like the San Lorenzo Fortress, Shelter Bay Marina is more than a docking point—it’s a vibrant hub for adventure, relaxation, and a satisfying meal.
