The Panama Canal is an engineering marvel that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It allows ships from all over the world to pass through, facilitating trade and transportation. The canal has more than 100 years of history and has been expanded and modernized several times. Visiting the canal is a unique experience that allows you to appreciate its beauty and importance.
The Amador Causeway is an incredible place to visit in Panama. It is a road that connects four Pacific islands with the city, and offers a spectacular view of the canal and the Bridge of the Americas. You can enjoy many outdoor activities, such as walking, running, cycling or skating. There are also many restaurants, bars and clubs to have fun. We will pass next to the Biomuseo**, designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry, where you can learn about the biodiversity of Panama.
The Panama Canal Administration Building is a masterpiece of modern architecture that stands over the peaceful entrance to the canal. Since its inauguration in 1914, the canal has been a source of pride and prosperity for Panama and the world. The building reflects the history, culture and identity of this country, with its geometric shapes, vibrant colors and murals depicting scenes of the construction and operation of the canal. The building also houses the offices of the Panama Canal Authority, the entity responsible for managing, operating and maintaining this engineering marvel. The building is a symbol of the vision, effort and commitment of Panamanians to sustainable development and global integration.

Specify what is included in the cost of entrance to the canal, because I find it costly for the activity that is carried out
