Description

One of the most popular public works projects in the world is the Panama Canal. It cost US$350 million and, during its construction, claimed around 27,000 lives. To strengthen its strategic position as a global shipping centre, the canal is undergoing a US$5.3 billion retrofit. The best place to launch a tour of the canal is the Miraflores Locks Visitor Center.
