DESCRIPTION

Morning pick up and transfer to Flamenco Resort and Marina, where you will board a motor coach to Gamboa Town, home of the Panama Canal Dredging Division. Once in Gamboa, board the boat to enter the Canal at the North end of Gaillard Cut, the narrowest section of the Canal, with an approximate length of 13.7 kilometers, located 26 meters above sea level.

Travel the Cut on the way to Pedro Miguel Locks and observe the Panama Canal Expansion. Pedro Miguel Locks, one of the two sets of locks on the Pacific side, where the vessel is lowered 9 meters in one step. Get to Miraflores Lake, a small artificial body of fresh water that separates Pedro Miguel from Miraflores Locks, the latter being the final set of locks before reaching the Pacific Ocean. At Miraflores Locks the vessel is lowered 18 meters in two steps.

Once in the Pacific Ocean the vessel will sail to Flamenco Marina where passengers will disembark.  A once in a lifetime experience!
