Colon
Cruiseline Excursion Colon: Panama City tour and Miraflores Locks
Panama is the only country in the world where you can experience both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean in a single day. Your tour begins with a scenic drive of about one hour to the Centennial Bridge, where you’ll enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the Gaillard Cut—the narrowest section of the Panama Canal—and the Pedro Miguel Locks.
Next, visit the Miraflores Locks Exhibition Center to learn about the fascinating history of the canal and its operation over the past 100 years.
The journey then continues into the heart of Panama City, where you’ll explore the historic Cathedral, important monuments, and the vibrant downtown district. As you walk through Casco Antiguo, admire the stunning blend of Colonial and Neoclassical architecture that defines this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
To finish, the tour takes you along Balboa Avenue, where you’ll witness the striking contrast of Panama’s modern skyline, home to some of the tallest and most impressive buildings in Latin America
