Cruises from Fuerte Amador

Fuerte Amador, located west of Panama City at the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal, is an island reknown for being the ideal starting point for exploring the beauty of the canal. Once there, you have the opportunity to visit Panama Viejo and Casco Viejo, two settlements that date back to the colonial period. Although they are very different, they have both been recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

In addition to this, if you are an art lover, in Fuerte Amador you can visit the Biomuseum. The museum was designed by architect Frenk Gehry and opened in 2014 with the purpose of telling the natural and cultural histories of Panama and the role the canal has played in the development of the area. If you want to enjoy one of the best views of the canal and a miracle of engineering in operation, a visit to the Miraflores Locks is the best choice for you. If you are lucky, you might happen upon the exact moment of a ship's passage to experience and appreciate this unique spectacle.
