About this activity

Embark on an unforgettable journey through one of the world's engineering marvels: The Panama Canal. Our tour will take you to both the visitor centers, Aguas Claras' new set of locks, and the original Gatun set of locks. Both are located on the Caribbean side of the canal.

In the second half of our tour, prepare to be immersed in the lush beauty of the rainforest, teeming with vibrant flora and fauna. We'll make our way through the remnants of Sherman's former military base, an American jungle operation training center, until we arrive at the stunning San Lorenzo Fort, also known as San Lorenzo Castle.
