Panama Canal and Gatun Lake Excursion
Panama Canal and Gatun Lake Excursion
We'll pick you up at your hotel and head by bus to the Atlantic coast of Panama. After a little over an hour's drive, we'll arrive at the Agua Clara Locks of the Panama Canal.
The Agua Clara Locks is one of the entrances to the Panama Canal from the Atlantic and connects the ocean with Gatun Lake, the largest lake in the canal. It was opened to transit in 1913 and in its day became the largest artificial lake in the world. We'll witness the passage of the ships through the lock, observing how the system of gates lifts the ships almost 26 meters (85 feet).
During our excursion, we'll visit the Agua Clara Visitor Center and check out the new expansion of the canal, made to allow the passage of larger vessels. There we'll have free time to have lunch if you wish and continue admiring this impressive engineering work and Gatun Lake. We may even see huge crocodiles from the lookout points.
After the tour, we'll take you back to your hotel in Panama City, where we'll arrive 5 hours after pickup.
