Tour Description

This morning a Dynamo Travel Agent will meet you in at the lobby of your hotel to take you to the marina from where your adventure will start.

During this unique experience, you will be part of the day’s live action on the Panama Canal, as you navigate through the locks to the height of man-made lake Gatun, located 26 meters above sea level and through the majestic gap that was made in the Continental Divide of the Americas, to unite both oceans and create this important commercial waterway. 

The narrator will take you through the history, construction, politics and future of the Panama Canal, as you witness the operation of this engineering feat from beginning of the 20th Century.

During lunch time, you will have a chance to try some of Panama’s traditional cuisine.
