Visiting Fort San Lorenzo
Exploring Fort San Lorenzo is not only a lesson in history but candy for the eyes. To get there, you must pass the Panama Canal (another location worth seeing).
The remains of this Spanish fortress is located inside a National Park and you are treated to a fifteen minute drive through a forest teeming with wildlife. Everything from howler monkeys to wild parrots and toucans and wild parrots are easily spotted and heard.
It is about as close to a true jungle you can get.
Exploring the Panama Canal
This is a must. Not just for its historical significance but because of the incredible innovation of the time when it was created.
It took ten years to build and is a sight to behold. Watching the locks fill up with water as the massive ships squeeze through such a tight space makes you realize why it is considered one of the seven wonders of the world.
