VACATION DETAILS

Mid-way through the transit of the Panama Canal is the town of Gamboa. Enjoy the relatively undisturbed rainforest where iguanas, crocodiles and many other species can be viewed.  And birdwatchers can experience one of the premiere bird watching sites in Central California.

The sights of Panama City are many, but much of it can be seen on foot. The Plaza de Francia is dedicated to the 22,000 workers who perished while building the Panama Canal. The ruins of the Church of Santo Domingo features an arch that has stood unsupported for hundreds of years. The golden altar of the Church of San Jose is the only original piece of architecture completely in tact after the Pirate Henry Morgan destroyed the city. There are many museums to explore in Panama City including: the newly restored Museum of Religious Art; the Museum of the History of Panama; the Atnthropology Museum; and the Museum of Natural Science. At Panama Viejo, view all the remains of the city’s original site.
