Overview

The private tour that will take you to the two key points of the Canal in the province of Colón: the modern locks of Agua Clara and the new viewpoint of the original locks of Gatún.

You can witness the historical engineering and expansion of the Canal that allows the passage of the mega vessels Neopanamax.

But that's not all. We can also see the great Gatun Dam, which gave birth to the immense Gatun Lake, a key piece for the functioning of the canal and one of the largest artificial lakes in the world.

In addition, we will cross the Atlantic Bridge, a colossal engineering work with world record, considered the longest concrete-stayed bridge four lanes in the world, and one of the most impressive in Latin America.

Book today and get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, where you will see one of the most influential works in global trade, in a personalized and visually stunning experience.
