Panama wants to show the world that is not just the famous canal that rips in half. A destination with many secrets to reveal - from Atlantic to Pacific.
The Isthmus of Panama is the "umbilical cord" that connects North America to South America, and the proportion of land closer in Central America.
Therefore, we tried to create a place of passage of ships so that they do not circumvent the southern continent. The contract was not easy and the French project ended in 1889, by virtue of malaria and yellow fever that killed many workers.
The Americans were left with the conclusion of the grant and in 1904 the work was completed, opening up a new era in the history of navigation. And Panama jumped into the mouths of the world.
But the program of this trip is not restricted to the channel. Includes a cruise with the passage of navigation locks at Miraflores and Gatun free navigation on the lake, where several rivers converge, but what is surprising is the scenery around: a dense tropical forest full of lush nature, inhabited by a profusion of plant species and animals.
On the shores lies the village of Gamboa, the basis of exploitation of the region, from which there jungle tours and canal done by an expert guide in the parks of Sovereignty and the Chagres River.
At the end of the fifth day heads up off the Atlantic coast to the archipelago of San Blas, in the sea of the Caribbean . San Blas is an autonomous Panamanian territory, where only sixty islands are inhabited by the Kuna, a people whose language, religion and laws ... and very festive, colorful costumes seen in women, and living in huts with thatched roof and wall cane.
The two days here are unforgettable: islets with sandy beaches, warm sea of blue transparencies, rest and tasty meals of fish and shellfish. Finally, the return to Panama City, a New York miniature terminating at the core, a beautiful historic center. And it is here in Casco Viejo, you realize that Panama is more, much more than one channel.
From 3377 euros. Includes accommodation in Gamboa, San Blas and Panama City, mentioned meals, entrance fees in national parks, cruise on the canal, internal flights, guides and transfers.
