There is so much to see and do in Panama.

However, the famous Panama Canal is what draws in many visitors, and rightfully so, as it is a marvel of engineering work.

Operating 365 days a year and helping the world’s cargo be shipped safely to new destinations around the globe, the Panama Canal is well worth your time.

The country should no doubt be on your travel list, and of course, there are plenty of reasons to visit beyond seeing the canal.

But the amazing passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean is a must-see for those visiting Panama for the first time.

Travelers can book a cruise that traverses the Panama Canal for the ultimate experience of the 48-miles canal system. Many of the major cruise lines offer itineraries that will send the ship through the famous canal.

A cruise that passes through gives guests a unique viewpoint of the stellar engineering work that took place to create such a system.

For those who visit Panama via plane and want to see the canal, the best viewing spot is the Miraflores Locks.

It’s the closest set up to Panama City and features not only beautiful viewpoints of the canal but also a terrific visitor’s center.

One the most intriguing destinations in the world, the Panama Canal is a remarkable piece of work constructed over 100 years ago.
