More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of a full-size Range Rover onto a sun-warmed observation platform at Miraflores, the rumble of a distant freighter like a heartbeat through the city. The locks open and close with a measured economy; water moves with the purposeful momentum of a machine that changed the world. Later, cobblestones underfoot in Casco Viejo give way to rooftop views of glass towers and the ocean beyond.

History
The Panama Canal opened in 1914 after decades of international effort; the 2016 expansion added larger locks to accommodate New Panamax vessels.
Conservation
The canal depends on freshwater from Gatun Lake and nearby watersheds; visitors are encouraged to minimize litter and follow site rules to protect local ecosystems.
