Seeing the canal up close
You can see the canal from the two locks with visitor centers, from a free stop at Pedro Miguel or on a partial transit by boat.
Birds and rainforest by the canal
Less than an hour from the capital there are trails, towers and a research island. Set out at dawn.
On the water
You can take a boat on the canal, Gatún Lake and the Chagres River. Choose operators that do not feed wildlife.
With kids
Short visits with restrooms and shade, and a good return on travel time.
