Watching the fascinating operation of the Gatun locks in the Panama Canal was amazing. The huge oil tankers and container ships cruise through the canals with unbelievable precision. It was truly awe-inspiring.
Later, we explored the town of Porto Belo. It was once the busiest city in the New World. We had a spectacular view of the new canal locks from an observatory platform.
The town has a long history of pirate attacks, and this is where Sir Francis Drake died in 1596. Christopher Columbus named Porto Belo, meaning “beautiful harbor,” while visiting the area in 1502.
