Panama Canal

The Panama Canal is located in Panama, Central America, and spans the Isthmus of Panama. It is 82 km long and up to 304m wide, making it one of the world's greatest engineering feats. The Panama Canal provides a shortcut for ships traveling from the Atlantic to the Pacific, allowing them to avoid sailing around South America and shortening the voyage by over 10,000 nautical miles. The canal features 3 sets of locks used to raise or lower water levels, allowing ships to move from one water level to another. Visitors can view the canal from three locations: theMiraflores Lockson the Pacific side, the Gatun Locks, and the on the Atlantic side. From the observation deck, you can watch the entire process of ships slowly passing through, including the lowering of water levels, the opening of gates, towing by locomotives, sailors and passengers on the ships waving, the closing of gates, and the raising of water levels.

San Felipe

San Felipe is the historic core of Panama City. In 1671, when the pirate Henry Morgan attacked, the original Panama City was nearly destroyed by fire. Survivors subsequently built a new walled city on a peninsula extending into the bay. The current layout of the neighborhood was established then, and it was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1997 as the Historic District of Panama. The charm of this neighborhood lies in the juxtaposition of the old and the new. Beside renovated colorful houses, cafes, and craft shops, there are still mottled, unrestored old buildings. On one side are colonial-era batteries, while on the other, the skyscrapers of Panama City stand in full view.
