AGUA CLARA LOCKS & ST LORENZO CASTLE

Visit the Agua Clara Locks, an observation center for the Panama Canal in Colón, featuring the construction of the new locks surrounded by lush tropical beauty, allowing 400 visitors at a time for easy viewing. Then, proceed to the San Lorenzo Castle, which was originally constructed in the late 16th century (exact year varies). Ordered by King Philip II of Spain, it overlooks the mouth of the Rio Chagres, a strategic point heavily used by trade and slave ships. Transfers are provided after lunch in Colón.
