You step out of an air‑conditioned vehicle and the Caribbean air meets you—warm, salty, and carrying the low hum of container cranes and cruise terminal announcements. The Mall Colón 2000 sits on this active waterfront, its glazed facades catching light off the bay while palm shadows move across the promenade. Cameras click; shoppers thread between international brands and kiosks selling local coffee and rum.
