Panama Canal

This modern engineering marvel is famous the world over, though nothing can prepare you for the awesome sight of watching hulking vessels traverse any of the canal's three sets of locks. Most visitors choose to visit the Miraflores Locks, which are located next to a shiny new visitors' centre, an open-air restaurant, a museum and a viewing platform.
