Overview of your Panama city tour:

You haven't been to Panama if you didn't take the Panama Canal Tour. Considered the 8th wonder of the world, this engineering marvel cuts through 50 miles of land across the Isthmus of Panama, saving the vessels almost three weeks of travel time. As my personal favorite tour, it doesn't matter how often I visit, the "WOW" effect is always there. Watching the ships being raised across 3 sets of locks 85 feet to the lake between the mountains is jaw dropping. There are 2 windows a day that you may be able to watch the ships go through the Miraflores Locks on the Pacific Ocean side of The Canal. Ships on both oceans are loaded onto the Gatun Lake early morning between at 7:30 to 9:00 am (1st window). It takes about 10 hours to complete the transit, so between 1:30 to 5:00 pm we are able to see the ships coming from the Atlantic side, passing through the locks (2nd window). The following itinerary can be customized upon request:

Your Panama city tour itinerary

· The tour begings when I come to pick you up from your lodging, the port or the airport located at the downtown Panama City area, at a time previously agreed upon. · We'll then drive for approximately 30 minutes to the Miraflores Visitor Center. · Upon arrival I'll get the admission tickets for you and offer you the possibility to head to the iMAX Theater to watch a 45 minute documentary film called "Land Divided, a World United" narrated by Morgan Freeman. The movie is a must if you want to learn & easily understand how the canal works including the interesting history behind it's construction & operation (24 / 7). · Upon exiting the theatre, we'll make our way up to the Observation Terrace where you'll witness the process in witch water lifts or lowers the ships 26 feet on each of the locks. · We'll then make our way down to the gift shop before returning to our vehicle. · I'll then drive you back to the pick-up point (between 30 to 45 minutes).
