The Panama Canal

The main tourist attraction in Panama City area is the Panama Canal. At the Miraflores Locks (some 15km South of the city) there is a museum depicting the efforts made by the French and the Americans to build the canal. This museum features some scale models as well as original equipment and pictures. They also have an exhibit of fish and insects (some of them really big!) living in the nearby jungle.333 canal334 canal335 canal336 canal337 canal338 canal339 canal340 canal341 canal342 canal
