The bridge between North and South America, Panama offers an incredible variety ofworld-class attractions and nature at its best. Discover amazing diversity in this crossroadsof the world, where colonial charm meets modern-day luxury. From the ruins of PanamaViejo, to the trendy art district of Casco Viejo, to the vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere ofPanama City, the country of Panama is a destination like no other.PANAMA VIEJO – OLD PANAMALocated in the southwest of the city, the historical district and UNESCO WorldHeritage Site of Panama Viejo, the “first” Panama City, is home to ruins offortresses, cities and other jewels from a time when pirates were the rulersof the oceans. Once surrounded by walls to provide protection from pirates,Panama Viejo was built by the Spaniards in the 1670’s to relocate the citydestroyed by Sir Henry Morgan.CASCO VIEJOThe “second” Panama City, a 28-block area with a massive, historic sea wallbuilt to escape the fate of the Old City, dates back to the 17th century and is anarchitectural gem and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beautifully restored andauthentically unrestored buildings line the cobblestone streets along with trendyplazas, shops and restaurants, creating a bustling street life. From here, thesweeping ocean views of Panama Bay’s modern skyscraper skyline provide anamazing contrast between old and new.MODERN PANAMA CITYThere’s no “hotter” destination than the “third” Panama City. Set on a beautifulbay with a Manhattan-like skyline, this contemporary city boasts a boomingbusiness district, first-world infrastructure, world-class casinos, greatrestaurants, attractive neighborhoods and the only wildlife refuge in the worldwithin city limits in the Metropolitan Park. Located near the Pacific entrance ofthe Panama Canal at the crossroads of the world, it is a shopper’s paradise withgoods available from every corner of the world.NEWLY EXPANDED PANAMA CANALOn June 26, 2016, a 984-foot Chinese merchant ship made history by clearingthe new massive locks of the Panama Canal, becoming the first to officially passthrough the expanded canal and opening a new era in global trade. The $5.4billion effort to expand the 102-year-old canal took nearly 10 years and 40,000workers to complete. The canal was expanded to accommodate a new generationof container ships.Two new sets of locks were added-one on the Atlantic side and one on the Pacificside, doubling the waterway’s cargo capacity, and greatly reducing travel timesbetween oceans. Like the channel that opened in 1914, the enlarged PanamaCanal is a feat of engineering. Enough material was dredged to fill the EgyptianGreat Pyramid at Giza, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, 25 timesover; the amount of steel used could have erected 29 new Eiffel Towers; and theEmpire State Building could lie down and fit into just one of the three chambersin each of the new channel’s locks. The Miraflores Visitors Center brings you upclose to the Panama Canal, one of the most amazing engineering projects ofour time.AV-OK TOTAL VACATION SECURITYPlan your vacation with confidence with our three-part planincluding a Cancellation/Change Waiver, Best Price Guaranteeand high quality Travel Protection.
