The journey continues through the verdant tropical forest until you reach the Pedro Miguel's locks, an integral part of the Panama Canal. From there, experience a fleeting yet fascinating glimpse of the former Canal Zone at Balboa town, where historic American military installations remind us of Panama's strategic significance.
