Travel Guide
Panama Canal
The Panama Canal is an artificial 48-mile waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. It cuts across the Isthmus of Panama and is a key passage for maritime trade around the world.
The amount of work and effort it took to not only create and plan this canal but to construct it and get it all working was more than a feat of engineering – it was a test of human strength and endurance.
