17. Tag Colon, Panama 11.12.2025

Colon on the Atlantic side and Panama City on the Pacific side of Panama. In between lies the 82 km long Panama Canal, considered a wonder of the modern world.
Coming from Colon, ships climb via the triple lock of Gatun, 26m up to the level of Gatun Lake, and eventually return 26m down to the level of the Pacific Ocean through the Pedro Miguel lock and the double lock of Miraflores. It is remarkable that there is only fresh water between the locks.
