Technical marvel
The Panama Canal is one of the most important channels in the world and is also a technical marvel. The canal has a length of 80 km and runs from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. More than 12,000 ships use the canal each year, saving an average of 60 days of travel. One of the 3 locks, the Miraflores lock, is accessible to visitors. So you can admire this world-famous structure with your own eyes. From a balcony you can see how giant cargo ships sail through the narrow canal and how the locks do their job. There is also an interesting museum where you can learn all about the canal, there will be a short film about the history of the construction of the canal and its current expansion plans.
