Pass alongside the Panama Canal locks, see the historic Snake Cut and watch as huge ships maneuver to squeeze through the small locks. That is just the start of this beautiful journey, which also takes you through a beautifully lush tropical jungle, where you can see and feel the beauty of nature.
This wonderful trip can be combined with visits to interesting historical monuments, like San Lorenzo Fort, the Gatun Locks and the entrance to the Panama Canal on the Caribbean side.
A bit of trivia: in 1913, the interoceanic railroad transported 2,916,657 passengers and 2,026,852 tons of cargo across the isthmus, clocking in with the heaviest traffic per mile of any railroad in the world of the time.
