About this excursion

This tour is designed for canal enthusiasts who appreciate the immense impact of these structures on global maritime trade. The Panama Canal, the most important waterway in Central America, has influenced trade since its inauguration in 1914 and was further expanded in 2016. This tour offers the opportunity to closely observe both the original and expanded canals, allowing visitors to appreciate their differences and witness the fascinating process of ships ascending and descending.
