About this trip

 Explore Colon with a visit to the Agua Clara Locks along the Panama Canal. Drive through the rainforest to San Lorenzo Fort and marvel at the 400-year old ruins on a private trip.

This tour is designed for travelers that need to return earlier to the dock without having to be stressed about getting back late.

Itinerary

 

 

We can pick you up from Colon Home Port around 8:30 am - the meeting point is Subway Restaurant near Super 99 Supermarket. It is 400 meters away from the Gangway 

ITINERARY

We will start by visiting the amazing expanded Panama Canal Locks named Agua Clara. The center offers a breathtaking panoramic view that contrasts two particular scenarios that generate mixed feelings.


We will drive along the coast and go over the largest bridge built in Panama, which has a stunning view of the mouth of the Caribbean Sea.


Our next stop is Gatun Lake, which consists of three steps, or pairs of chambers. The transit inside these locks is different from the Agua Clara.


Time to pass by the former Sherman US Fort, which complemented the defensive armament of Fort Randolph across Limon Bay. Stationed at Fort Sherman were two harbor defense battalions and one anti-aircraft gun battalion.


We drive along the rainforest to finally reach the San Lorenzo fort. The 400-year-old Spanish ruins of San Lorenzo are a Unesco World Heritage Site. Sometimes we spot wild animals along the way up.


We will bring you back to the port in Colon around 3:00 p.m.

It is lovely to step off a long flight and have someone inside the airport ready to pick you up. Levy was excellent; the directions were clear on where he would meet us. He communicated by WhatsApp to let us know he was there. He held a sign with our names on it. He was a safe driver and told us a little about the city as we drove. If you want to travel stress-free, then Levy and his team are the folks to call. The price was reasonable and this is 100% better than trying to take a Taxi or Uber. Don't make your arrival more complicated or stressful, ask for Levy he is the best.

We had a wonderful day with a super nice driver who accompanied us in a competent and friendly manner. The whole process, from booking to drop-off at the hotel, was sensational. We can recommend this organisation completely and without hesitation. We travelled as a family (2 adults and 1 child).
