SHORE EXCURSIONS IN COLON

GATUN SLUICE GATES

The Panama Canal has three sluicegates two located near the Pacific coast (the Miraflores and Pedro Miguel Sluicegates) and the third along the Atlantic (the Gatun sluice gates). Of these three locks, the most impressive of all and worth visiting is the Gatun. Because the three chambers are connected, you will have the opportunity to see the process completed in a single location, rather than in two stages as with the locks of Miraflores and Pedro Miguel. A boat takes about two hours to complete the transition from the Gatun Sluicegates whether heading north or south.

There is a tower for visitors above the locks. We will have an opportunity to take good pictures from this location.

PANAMA CANAL EXPANSION

Leaving the port we will be transported in buses to the Observation Deck of the Panama Canal Expansion. Here we can observe and learn about the progress of this magnificent building which will consist of a system of sluicegates for the transit of larger ships. The project creates a new line of traffic on the Canal by building a new set of sluicegates. After enjoying this wonderful visit we will return to port.

GATUN SLUICEGATES AND SHOPPING

In this fantastic tour, we will visit the Gatun locks in 45 minutes, the most impressive of all the 3 sluicegates that form the Panama Canal. There is a tower for visitors above the locks. We will have an opportunity to take good pictures from this location. Continuing our tour we will be led to Shopping Metromall located in Panama City to enjoy shopping.

PANAMA FULL

Transfer to the Miraflores Visitors Center where we will observe the live operation of the Miraflores Locks; you will watch a video that displays the channel construction and the plans with the new set of locks. Then we will make a tour of the modern city, followed by a walk from the old town visiting Panama Cathedral, the Plaza de Francia, the Simon Bolivar Park, and the National Theatre. Finally, we will enjoy a traditional lunch.

PANAMA CITY AND SHOPPING

During our city tour, we will visit “The Old Panama" and the modern city traveling along the coastal belt land with a beautiful panoramic view of the growing capital city, located between the two cities (colonial and modern).

The guide will tell us historical, cultural, and key facts of the country. The Old Panama was sacked by Henry Morgan Corsair in 1671; we will observe the tower of the church Our Lady of the Assumption (Nuestra Señora de la Asunción) and the various convents and monasteries that made up the ancient city. Panama is well known for its variety and of course, low prices. Enjoy your visit to one of the most extravagant shopping centers in Latin America and be amazed by the amount of products you will have the opportunity to buy in this city.

MIRAFLORES SLUICE GATES

This tour starts addressing transport for a distance of approximately 90 minutes to the Miraflores Visitor Center! Arriving at the Observation Centre of the Miraflores Locks we will be able to watch a documentary on the history of locks and at the same time have the opportunity to see ships passing through these locks and their entire operation from the top floor of the Centre. Miraflores Locks are part of the engineering marvel that forms the Panama Canal.

The gates of the Miraflores Locks are the highest of the three locks, due to the extreme variation of the tide that takes place in the Pacific Ocean; the variation of the tides on the Atlantic coast is much lower. Depending on the size of each boat, one can see from 1-3 boats that make the transit simultaneously. From the time a ship comes into the locks, it takes about 10 minutes to complete the process.
