Wonders of the Canal

Engineering Marvels & Waterfront Moments

Your journey begins at the Panama Canal Visitor Center and Museum at the Miraflores Locks. Here, you'll witness colossal ships being lifted and lowered through the locks — a jaw-dropping example of engineering ingenuity. Through interactive exhibits, videos, and panoramic observation decks, you'll learn how this man-made waterway transformed global trade and put Panama on the map as a crossroads of the world.

From there, we shift gears toward leisure and open skies as we cruise along the Amador Causeway. This palm-lined road stretches across the Pacific entrance to the Canal, connecting the city with a group of small islands. As you ride along, take in stunning skyline views, sea breezes, and the buzz of Panamanian life.

You’ll have time to relax at seaside cafés, browse artisan markets, or even rent a bike for a laid-back ride along the waterfront. For those seeking something extra, we highly recommend a stop at the Biomuseo, designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry. This colorful, striking building is as visually impressive as it is educational — offering a deep dive into Panama’s geological history and exceptional biodiversity.
