A trip to Panama is incomplete without the unforgettable experience of exploring one of the contemporary world’s marvels. The Panama Canal, stretching over 80 KM, is a must-see feature composed of three lock systems. These include the two Pacific locks, Miraflores and Pedro Miguel, and the largest one in the Atlantic, Aguas Claras, functioning as giant ship elevators for navigating the isthmus. The Chagres River lies dammed for its functioning, leading to the creation of Miraflores, Maden and Gatún lakes, the latter recognized as one of the world’s largest man-made lakes. The Panama Canal ranks as a significant engineering achievement globally. A guided tour of this remarkable site promises to enlighten you with its rich history.
