Overview
An unforgettable journey through the lush landscapes surrounding the Panama Canal Zone, where centuries of history come to life.
Discover how the ambitions of Spanish explorers gave way to the bold vision of French engineers before ultimately being realised through American determination and innovation.
Along the way, hear captivating stories of triumph and hardship, from the challenges faced by early explorers to the immense efforts of the diverse workforce that constructed one of the world's greatest engineering achievements. As you explore the region once known as the "Pearl of the Pacific", you'll gain a deeper appreciation of Panama's rich cultural heritage, the resilience of its people, and the enduring importance of this iconic waterway.
The journey continues through the former Panama Canal Zone, where the legacy of American administration remains visible in historic neighbourhoods and former military installations preserved since the Canal's handover in 1999.
Travel along the picturesque, palm-lined Amador Causeway, built from material excavated during the construction of the Canal, and enjoy spectacular views across Panama City's skyline. Stops at Fort Amador and the Panama Canal Administration offices, accompanied by expert commentary, provide fascinating insights into the historical, cultural and strategic significance of these landmarks.
This enriching excursion offers a unique perspective on Panama's remarkable past and its transformation into the vibrant nation it is today.
