Tour Itinerary
After breakfast, you will travel to Amador causeway on the pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. From here you head to Balboa to the Administration building of the Panama Canal. Travel along the railroad passing by former military bases Albrook Airfield and Fort Clayton before arriving the first set of locks. With any luck, you will see vessels as they transit through Miraflores Locks. There is an excellent viewing Center recently opened that will help you understand this engineering marvel.
After about 2 hours, which will go by faster than you think, you then head north passing Pedro Miguel Locks, the smallest of all three locks to Gamboa. Gamboa, which is in the center of the 55,000-acre Soberania Park, on the banks of the Rio Chagres. Unlike most visitors who only peer at the canal from the locks, today you will take a fast boat through the Panama Canal and through Gatun Lake. We navigate our way up the waterway passing jungle islands and vessels making thier way to Gatun Locks. After 3 hours of being in the canal you willbe taken back to Gamboa and enjoy a lunch on the bank of the chagres river with a view of ships passing by.
