Controversial. Revolutionary. Amazing. The Panama Canal has been called "The Eighth Wonder of the World." And with good reason! It took 250,000 people from all corners of the globe more than 10 years to build, and it stands as a monument of mankind's ingenuity and power of conviction.
The Panama Canal is a unique experience which can't be reproduced anywhere else in the world. See 5,000,000-ton vessels rise and drop more than 50 feet as they make their way over Panama from one ocean to another, and learn about the history and future of this marvel of modern engineering.
Panama City "must do" is a visit to the new Miraflores Visitor Center at the Panama Canal. The state-of-the art visitor center has 4 exhibition halls: Canal History, Water the Source of Life; The Canal in Action and the Canal of the World. The exhibitions include historical objects of Canal operations, interactive modules, video presentations, and models of the Panama Canal. There is also a snack bar and a restaurant with stunning Canal-side views. Visitors may view ships passing through the Canal from the Visitors Center terrace free of charge.
