Description

El Castillo San Lorenzo and the Portobelo ruins, are highly remarkable traits of Panama colonial era. Before there was the water bridge, thus the Panama Canal, there was first, the dry canal, which was used for the transfer of gold, silver, and spices in and out of Panama to Spain. This experience reveals the important historical facts spread across 4 centuries, including the pre- and post-colonial era, the first transcontinental railway era, then, the constructions of the Panama Canal era. Together with your tour guide, start this day trip from Panama City to Agua Claras visitor center in Colon, to learn about new locks of the Panama Canal and get to see the Neo-Panama, the largest ships that can cross the canal of Panama. Cross the lazy named bridge of the Atlantic coast heading toward San Lorenzo national park to discover the San Lorenzo Fortress a UNESCOs site by the Chagres River´s mouth, learn in depth about the glorious days of Panama, the strategic alliances, the lines of defenses, the triangle route formed by Nombre de Dios and Camino de Cruces. This is the best opportunity to fully indulge and immerse-in the complete history of Panama in all of its cycle.  Last head to Portobelo, drive through its national park to the town and discover Portobelo ruins also a world´s heritage site, visit the black christ church and learn about its impressive tale learn about its custom house history.
