Tour del Canale di Panama: Chiuse di Miraflores e Zona del Canale
Descrizione
Vi siete mai chiesti come una nave di 300 metri riesca ad alzare e abbassare il livello dell'acqua per attraversare due oceani? Questo tour privato del Canale di Panama, affacciato sull'Oceano Pacifico, vi permetterà di andare oltre la semplice osservazione: comprenderete il suo funzionamento in tempo reale, assistendo al passaggio delle navi attraverso le chiuse di Miraflores. Esplora l'ex Zona del Canale e scopri com'era la vita lì, le restrizioni in vigore e il percorso che ha portato ai Trattati Torrijos-Carter, fondamentali per il trasferimento del canale a Panama. Godetevi panorami spettacolari dall'Amador Causeway e visitate il Canal Administration Building, il Bridge of the Americas, il Centennial Bridge e il Culebra Cut. Ideale per chi viaggia da solo, in coppia, in famiglia o in gruppo, ancora meglio con gruppi di 4 o più persone, grazie alle tariffe agevolate. Nota: il centro visitatori di Miraflores è in fase di ristrutturazione fino al 2027; l'ingresso non è incluso. Perché il Canale rimane fondamentale per il commercio mondiale? Scopritelo di persona.

Itinerario
Ci dirigiamo al Centro Visitatori di Miraflores dove avremo l’opportunità di vedere il documentario di 45 minuti sul Canale di Panama, narrato da Morgan Freeman nel teatro Imax, conosceremo la storia e il funzionamento di questa importante e imponente costruzione e vedere il traffico delle navi Panamax che passano per le escluse di Miraflores. Questo tempo include il trasferimento fino alle Esclusas di Miraflores.
Dalle Esclusas di Miraflores arriviamo alle Esclusas di Pedro Miguel, questa è l’esclusosa di minore dimensione costruita e molto importante poiché nivela le barche al livello del taglio culebra che è la parte più pericolosa e complicata del traffico delle barche. Il tempo include il trasferimento alle Esclusas di Pedro Miguel.
Passiamo il Ponte del Centenario dove si vede l'inizio del famoso Taglio di Culebra e gli ingressi delle chiuse di Pedro Miguel, Miraflores e Cocolí.
Continuiamo a conoscere il Canale di Panama e arriviamo al Palazzo dell'Amministrazione del Canale di Panama, dove passeggiamo lungo il Paseo del Prado (che ha una storia interessante) e il Monumento a George Goethals. Il tempo comprende il trasferimento dalle chiuse di Pedro Miguel.
ATTENZIONE: A causa di lavori di ristrutturazione, non ci fermeremo al punto panoramico; effettueremo una traversata panoramica attraverso il Ponte delle Americhe.
Seguiremo la nostra avventura e finiremo nel Causeway di Amador dove conosceremo l’importanza di questa area quando si inaugurò il Canale di Panama e godremo delle impressionanti viste della Città di Panama e della Baia di Panama. Il tempo include il trasferimento dal Mirador delle Americhe.

At the time of our visit, Miraflores was being rehabbed. At the time of booking, I did not realize this. In addition, for the first time since becoming a Viator customer in 2015, our tour guide was a no-show. After we informed the tour operator, a second tour guide was secured approximately 2 hours after our 7:30 AM pick up. Tour operator was very apologetic, and the second tour guide did the best he could to salvage the rest of the day.
Dear Maritza 🫶🏼, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. First and foremost, please accept our sincerest apologies for the delay at the beginning of your tour. Situations like this are extremely uncommon for us, as punctuality and communication are among our highest priorities. However, we are a team of people, and on rare occasions an unexpected human error can occur. As soon as we became aware of the situation, we acted immediately to arrange another guide so your day could continue. We truly appreciate your patience and your recognition of our efforts to recover the experience. Regarding the Miraflores Visitor Center, the renovation is a major project that will enhance the experience for future visitors, with completion currently expected by late 2027. Thank you again for your understanding. We remain committed to creating authentic, memorable experiences with the warmth and positive spirit that defines Cositas de Panamá. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the seamless experience you deserve 🫂.
Viator half day excursion from Flamenco marina to Gamboa.I would recommend arriving 20 minutes early if you want to have an outdoor seat on the first part of the tour. The guide was informative and easily took all questions. Both breakfast and lunch were served but within two hours of each other. The experience of traveling the canal and the locks probably best done in this manner. Price point was moderately steep for the length of the excursion.
Hi, this is not a tour that we offer, our tours are by land, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. Cositas de Panamá Team 🇵🇦
We had a great experience! Our tour guide, Joaquin, was extremely knowledgeable about Panama and the canal, and very enthusiastic about showing visitors his beautiful city. Pick up was seamless and great communication all around. Highly recommend!
Emily, thank you so much to you and Valerie for choosing us! 🫶🏼 We’re so happy you had a great experience with Joaquín. His knowledge of Panama and the Canal, along with his enthusiasm for sharing our beautiful city, truly make each tour special. We’re also glad everything felt seamless from pickup to communication, that’s exactly the experience we aim to provide. You’ll always be welcome back in Panama. We’d love to host you again! 🇵🇦 Warm regards, Mario & the Cositas de Panamá Team
We get the best trip provider and highly recommend him to everyone. During the trip at I Max location was an alarming incident and we need to evacuate the venue area, they manage to continue but with a delay but our guide allowed extra time and we ended perfectly the trip .
Victor, thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the unexpected situation at the IMAX venue. These things are beyond our control, but we’re proud that Fernando stayed attentive, calm, and flexible—making sure you still had a complete and memorable experience despite the delay. Fernando always collaborates with excellence, carefully adjusting to any situation so our guests can enjoy a smooth and wonderful day. We’re very grateful for your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Panama in the future! 🇵🇦 Warm regards, Mario & the Cositas de Panamá Team
My wife and I just completed a great tour of the Panamal Canal with Gabriel, our guide. He was professional, spoke perfect English, was very informative, safe driver, and took us to interesting places downtown that were not on our list. Thank you, Gabriel, for a memorable visit to Panama and an educational visit to the Canal.
William, thank you so much for choosing us! 🫶🏼 We’re delighted you and your wife had such a great day with Gabriel Eloy. He’ll be very happy to hear you appreciated his professionalism, clear English, safe driving, and the extra downtown stops that added a little “local flavor” beyond the usual list. Thank you again for your trust, our goal is always to make your Canal visit both educational and truly memorable. Whenever you return to Panama, we’ll be here to host you again. 🇵🇦 Warm regards, Mario & the Cositas de Panamá Team
Our guide, Joaquin, was amazing. I think having a guide for this expertise is an absolute must. If you're an American, you just can't drive here. You really need a local who knows the area perfectly. Joaquin lives what he does and he fills the trip with that enthusiasm. I learned a lot, saw everyone i hoped i would, and had a great time. He is a great guide.
Nicholas, thank you so much to you and your friends for choosing us! 🫂 We’re really happy your group of 4 had such a great day with Joaquín. He truly lives what he does, and that enthusiasm is contagious. You’re absolutely right—having a local guide makes everything smoother here: the driving, timing, best viewpoints, and those little details that turn a visit into a real experience. We’re glad you learned a lot, saw everything you hoped to see, and felt well taken care of. Whenever you’re back in Panama, we’d love to host both couples again for another private adventure. Warm regards, Mario & the Cositas de Panamá Team 🇵🇦

A well organized tour with much to see and learn about the Panama Canal. Joaquin our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and his pride of citizenship and willingness to share this knowledge made the tour worth the while. We highly recommend this tour of one of the seven wonders of the modern world.
