This tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the Panama Canal from the inside, aboard a passenger vessel (mini cruise). The journey begins as we enter the canal through the Pacific Ocean, passing under the Bridge of the Americas and alongside the Balboa Port Company.
We’ll then enter the Miraflores Locks, where the ship will be lifted 16 meters above sea level. From there, we’ll sail through Miraflores Lake and reach the Pedro Miguel Locks, where the vessel will be raised an additional 10 meters.
As we continue through the iconic Culebra Cut, we’ll navigate to the Chagres River and Gatun Lake, gaining a deeper understanding of the canal’s operations and its vital role in global maritime trade.
This experience allows you to witness firsthand the incredible engineering and history behind one of the most important waterways in the world.
