#Panama #Canal Gatun locks Por volta das 6 da manhã já tínhamos passado o quebra-mar que antecede as Gatun locks. Depois da passagem de alguns navios foi a nossa vez de sermos elevados 26 metros em 3 etapas até ao Gatun Lake. Atravessamos o lago, o Culebra Cut (Canal aberto nas rochas e em forma de cobra com 12,6 Km de comprimento), a Centenial Bridge e chegamos a Pedro Miguel Locks, que tem apenas uma câmera. Aqui descemos 9 metros para o Miraflores Lake. Lago pequeno e logo chegamos às Miraflores Locks. São compostas de 2 câmeras que nos descem até ao nível do Pacífico. Estes locks têm as gates mais altas devido às diferenças entre as marés do Pacífico. Atravessados estes locks chegamos ao Pacífico. Passamos ainda por baixo da ponte das Américas, que é parte da rodovia Pan-americana, que liga o sul da América do sul com o Alasca na América do norte. A travessia toda durou em torno de 9 horas. Durante a travessia os navios são auxiliados por pares de locomotivas. Dependendo do tamanho do navio, podem ser usadas até 8 locomotivas. A água que enche as câmeras, vem do Gatun Lake e são usados 197 milhões de litros de água para cada travessia. Por isso é de suma importância a conservação da floresta tropical em torno do lago. As dimensões máximas permitidas para os navios é 32,31 m de largura, 294,13 m de comprimento e 12,04 m de calado. Gatun locks By 6am we had already passed the breakwater that precedes the Gatun locks. After the passage of some ships it was our turn to be lifted 26 meters in 3 steps to Gatun Lake. We cross the lake, the Culebra Cut (Channel open on the rocks and snake-shaped 12.6 km long), the Centenial Bridge and we arrive at Pedro Miguel Locks, which has only one camera. Here we descend 9 meters to the Miraflores Lake. Small lake and soon we arrived at Miraflores Locks. They are composed of 2 cameras that descend us to the level of the Pacific. These locks have the highest gates because of the differences between Pacific tides. Through these locks we reach the Pacific. We still cross under the bridge of the Americas, which is part of the Pan American Highway, which connects southern South America with Alaska in North America. The whole crossing lasted around 9 hours. During the crossing the ships are aided by pairs of locomotives. Depending on the size of the ship, up to 8 locomotives can be used. The water that fills the cameras comes from Gatun Lake and 197 million liters of water are used for each crossing. That is why conservation of the tropical forest around the lake is of paramount importance. The maximum allowable dimensions for ships is 32.31 m wide, 294.13 m long and 12.04 m draft.

Cristobal

Cristobal serves up front-row views of massive ships navigating the Panama Canal's Caribbean entrance. This historic port neighborhood blends weathered colonial architecture with the rhythmic pulse of maritime commerce. The Gatun Locks showcase engineering marvels while the waterfront promenade offers breezy spots to watch ocean-going giants pass by. Local eateries dish out Caribbean-influenced Panamanian seafood and traditional sancocho. Nearby Colon Free Zone tempts with duty-free shopping for everything from electronics to designer goods. Most visitors get around by taxi, though walking works fine within central areas if you're looking to soak up the authentic port atmosphere.

Barrio Sur

Barrio Sur serves up Panama's vibrant Afro-Caribbean heritage with a side of history you can practically taste. Colonial buildings in faded pastels line narrow streets where reggae beats and the smell of fried plantains fill the air. The nearby Colón Art and Culture Center showcases local traditions while Limon Bay offers waterfront views just steps away. You'll feel like a local exploring this historic district with its rich maritime past. Family-run eateries dish up authentic rice and beans and fresh seafood at wallet-friendly prices. The compact neighborhood is perfect for walking, though taxis are available when needed. Basic guesthouses and hostels provide authentic stays without the frills, creating a genuine cultural experience far from typical tourist paths.

Barcelona Christopher Columbus monument

Barrio Norte

Barrio Norte offers an authentic glimpse into everyday Panamanian life, away from the tourist crowds. Caribbean flavors fill family-run comedores where you can enjoy rice and beans with fresh seafood. Stroll past colorful concrete homes with neighbors chatting on porches while Caribbean music drifts through open windows. Visit nearby Limon Bay or the Monument to Christopher Columbus for sightseeing. Getting around means navigating uneven sidewalks or catching local buses with irregular schedules. Basic guesthouses offer genuine cultural exchange with friendly locals. Although lacking formal attractions, the neighborhood's Afro-Caribbean and West Indian influences create an immersive experience at a fraction of the cost of Panama City.
