The Panama Canal is a 51 mile waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Panama Canal is considered to be one of the seven wonders of the modern world and is truly a site to behold! It is incredible to see this engineering marvel that experienced its first boat through the canal in 1914. The Panama Canal construction and engineering project is considered one of the largest ever.
There is so much to see and do in Panama City! Casco Viejo is the historic "old quarter" of the city. Casco Viejo has beautiful architecture including many buildings that are being reconstructed. It is also an area with shopping, restaurants, rooftop bars and a vibrant nightlife. Casco Viejo has been considered by many to be the hippest area of Panama and provides a great opportunity to pick up some local art and your very own panama hat!
