Celebrating 108 Years!
On August 15, 2022 our Panama Canal, will be celebrating 108 years since its inauguration on August 15, 1914. This definitely calls for a celebration! We invite you to “get to know us.” So many foreigners have enjoyed a transit of our Panama Canal and many of us Panamanians don’t even know about it.
It is a very pleasant experience and very educational.
Organize your little group of friends for a family reunion, school group, an anniversary, birthday celebration or on an individual level. Please contact Carmela de Gobern if you would like to transit the Panama Canal on the M/V Pacific Queen:

I lived in Panama for 24 years and never took a trip to the Canal until I moved to the US. Thanks for offering this service to expats! It was an incredible experience that I recommend to allwho are still in Panama or planning to visit.
