Description

We'll pick you up at your hotel and start without rushing. In Miraflores, we'll see how the ships go up and down. We'll explain, with simple examples, how the locks work and why this route connects the world. We'll walk through the old Canal Zone to give context to what you're seeing: the Canal Administration Building, the George Goethals Monument, and the Paseo del Prado. These are names that come to life when you learn their stories. We'll cross the Amador Causeway to enjoy the bay and the city skyline, and you'll see the imposing Bridge of the Americas. And watch the IMAX movie narrated by Morgan Freeman. Round off the experience with incredible images. We set the course, but you choose the pace: we stop for photos, drink water, and answer questions. If you come with children, we adjust; if you're on a stopover, we make the most of every minute; if you prefer a leisurely pace, we make it easy. Who it's for: Families, couples, seniors, travelers in transit, and curious visitors who want more than just facts: clear insights, friendly service, and comfort. Practical details: Duration: 4–5 hours (ideal for a half day or layover). During the rainy season, we recommend leaving at 7:30 a.m.: it usually rains in the afternoon, so you'll enjoy it more. Includes: Pick-up and return to your hotel, private transportation with A/C, bottled water, and bilingual tour guide (ES/EN). Not included: Entrance to the Miraflores Visitor Center. If you prefer to have everything arranged, we can arrange tickets for you. Our goal is for you to take home more than just photos: the peace of mind that comes from understanding the Canal, guided by a local friend. Let's go!
