Witness One of the Greatest Engineering Wonders Ever Built
No visit to Panama would be complete without experiencing the legendary Panama Canal.
Often called one of the greatest engineering achievements in human history, the canal transformed global commerce forever by connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
At the Miraflores Visitor Center, your experience begins with an impressive IMAX documentary that tells the extraordinary story behind the canal's construction.
On the giant screen, you'll discover:

Watch Massive Ships Pass Through the Locks
After learning the canal's remarkable history, you'll move to the observation decks overlooking the famous Miraflores Locks.
This is where history becomes reality.
Standing just a short distance away, you'll watch enormous cargo ships and cruise vessels slowly enter the locks before being carefully raised or lowered using nothing but gravity and millions of gallons of fresh water.
Seeing this process in person is an unforgettable experience.
Your guide will explain exactly how the lock system works, why ships need to be lifted above sea level, and how this ingenious design continues to operate more than a century after the canal first opened.
Many visitors are amazed by the sheer precision of the operation and leave with a newfound respect for the brilliance behind this engineering masterpiece.
