Have you seen the canal expansion yet? Come to the Observation Center on the Atlantic side, open from 8 am to 4 pm every day!
Colón Province
A new attraction is now accessible to more fully experience the Panama Canal.
The new Observation Center of the Canal Expansion in Colón covers four hectares and is like a park, with terraces and open, partial and covered platforms, surrounded by the lush beauty of tropical nature. The arrangement of the area allows 400 visitors to simultaneously enjoy an unobstructed view of the construction of the new locks for the Panama Canal on the Atlantic coast. At the same time, from this privileged location, visitors can observe the majestic Gatún Lake, where ships continue their course along the interoceanic waterway.
The image, a closed loop circuit, projects onto every possible space in the setting, and a structure situated at the height of the treetops will offer a privileged view of the varied landscape where visitors can admire and contemplate nature in all its glory.
The look-out, suspended 60 meters above sea level and 50 meters above the Canal, will have two nature paths leading into the woods.
From the new Observation Center, national and foreign tourists will be able to take in a natural landscape that overlooks the Canal and Gatún Lake and enjoy an ecological adventure.
