An engineering marvel and one of the most significant waterways on earth, the Canal is one of Panama's most amazing sights. Eliminating the need to journey around Cape Horn, the Canal provided new opportunities for global trade and travel. But there's more to Panama than the canal. It's also a fantastic place full of natural attractions and watersports including snorkeling and deep-sea fishing. Experience Panama's multi-cultural heritage with a tour of an Embera Indian Village or take home some traditional arts, such as wood carvings and ceramics. One thing is for sure - once you've embraced Panama, you'll find it hard to leave.
