The sightseeing tour consists of navigating the Panama Canal itself, Panama's most famous and wonderful engineering feat dating from the 20th century, which connects the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Our sightseeing tour of approximately 5 hours (with check-in TIME TO BE CONFIRMED between 6 and 9 am) starts in Panama City, Pacific Ocean. We pass under the Puente de las Américas, and a few minutes later we come to the Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal. We then pass through the second locks, called Pedro Miguel, cruise through Corte Culebra, and sail almost to the end of the tour on Gatun Lake. Crossing the Chagres River, we head to the Gamboa Cruise Port, a natural park known for its rich fauna, including monkeys, turtles, alligators, exotic birds, and fish, and its robust and dense flora, which you will be able to appreciate in great detail.
