- Miraflores Visitor Center - The Miraflores Locks provide an excellent opportunity to understand the workings of the Panama Canal. Located on the Pacific side, visitors can observe ships being lifted or lowered through the original lock system, which operates using freshwater from Gatun Lake and gravity. From the observation decks, guests can watch vessels pass just meters away while learning about canal operations through various exhibits. The visit also includes the IMAX Theater, which features a high-definition film narrated by Morgan Freeman, detailing the canal’s history, engineering, global significance, and the expansion with the new locks, offering a comprehensive and engaging experience.
- Clayton - Once a significant U.S. Army installation in the Panama Canal Zone, the former Clayton Military Base is now a historic area. It has been transformed into a serene, green district known for its wide roads, tropical forest surroundings, and well-preserved military-era buildings. Today, it houses embassies, government offices, and Ciudad del Saber (City of Knowledge), an international center for education, research, and innovation, showcasing a clear contrast between Panama’s canal-era history and its modern development.
