Exploring Panama
Panama Canal: Connecting the Atlantic & the Pacific
Announcing the Johnstown-Milliken Chamber of Commerce 2012 Spring Vacation Tour:
Panama is steeped in history – from early Inca traders and Spanish conquistadors, to the Panama Canal, a modern-day engineering marvel. Completed in 1914, almost 50 miles long and one of the most complex engineering projects ever undertaken, a journey across the Isthmus of Panama takes you through the Gaillard Cut, carved through the Continental Divide. Head to Miraflores Locks Visitor Center to watch ships traverse the locks and learn about this engineering marvel’s rich past, present and future.
