Overview

Join us on a tour of the lesser visited Fort San Lorenzo on the Caribbean Coast of Panama and the Agua Clara Panama Canal locks. At 7:00am your English speaking driver and tour guide will meet you at your Panama City lodging from where you will continue on towards the Agua Clara Locks, located about 1.5 hours away, on the Caribbean side of the country.

Visitors can take their time here and watch the gigantic ships passing through the locks below. Stroll through the visitor centre, watch an informational video, or hike on the nearby rainforest trail. Learn about how engineers were able to raise Gatun Lake, built new locks, and widened existing channels to accommodate the massive New Panamax ships.

At around 10:00am, we continue to the Fort San Lorenzo, arriving by 11:00am. Marvel in the rich history of the well preserved ruins as your guide explains the colourful history of this historic landmark.

At 12:00pm we return to Panama City and will arrive back at your hotel by 1:00pm.

Activity itinerary

Panama Canal
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
Visit the Agua Clara Locks on the Atlantic side of Panama. At 7:00am your driver will pick you up from your Panama City hotel. Relax and enjoy the 1 hour to 1.5 hour drive until you reach the Atlantic side of Panama, which features the Agua Clara Locks. The observation centre offers stunning panoramic views of the Panama Canal expansion, including the three-chambered Agua Clara Locks. From the covered decks visitors can view Lago Gatún as well as the original Gatún Locks; the visitor centre also offers a theatre with two videos in English, a cafe and gift shop. With no on-site museum, the main focus here is mainly about getting a good look at the Panama Canal expansion. Visitors can hike on a short rainforest trail which is home to sloths, howler monkeys and toucans.
Fort San Lorenzo
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980, Fuerte San Lorenzo is situated at the mouth of the Río Chagres on a promontory west of the Panama canal. Despite its violent history, much of the original San Lorenzo fort is well preserved, including its moat, cannons and vaulted chambers. The fort also commands stunning views of the river and bay far below, which was one of the strategic reasons why the Spanish chose establish here. San Lorenzo was constructed of blocks of cut coral and armed with row upon row of cannons. If you inspect the cannons closely, you’ll notice that some of them are actually British-made, dating from the time in the 17th century when Sir Francis Drake and his privateer crew occupied the fort. After we finish the tour at the fort we head back to Panama City.
