Miraflores Visitor Center
Welcome to the most iconic stop of your day! This is where the Panama Canal comes to life — a place where massive ships glide through the locks in a breathtaking display of engineering genius. We always aim to visit the Canal early in the day, as ship transits through the locks are far more likely to occur before 9:00 am. While we cannot guarantee a ship-in-transit at the exact moment of your visit — as transit schedules are entirely managed by the Canal Authority and may change without notice — we will do everything possible to give you the best chance to witness this once-in-a-lifetime moment. No matter the timing, the experience is always inspiring. Get ready to stand in front of one of the world’s greatest engineering wonders!

5.00Excellent tour and even more excellent tour guide. Juan Carlos Valdez was quite knowledgeable and though the weather wasn’t originally cooperative, he revamped the order of our tour so that we’d see everything without getting soaked. Since it was a small group , he really tailored it to us.
Perfect Day in Panama !

5.00Truly a special day ! Our guide Juan Carlos went out of his way to make sure we saw and did everything! He knew exactly how to avoid the lines and answered many of our questions. He was engaging and kind! We couldn’t have asked for a better tour and day! Do not hesitate to book this tour! The car was clean and comfortable, we were picked up and dropped off very timely. Thank you so much for this amazing day! PS. Juan Carlos also is a nature enthusiast and once we told him we were bird nerds, he pointed out nature as we went along our tour! We even spotted a sloth in the wild! ❤️❤️❤️
