Most visitors head straight to the Miraflores Locks, which is definitely worth it. Watching massive ships pass through something built over a century ago is impressive, no matter how many times you’ve seen photos.
But there’s more to the Canal area than just the locks. The surrounding zones offer viewpoints, historical context, and a deeper look into how the Canal shaped the country. Driving across the Bridge of the Americas, for example, gives you a completely different perspective seeing the Canal from above, with the city skyline behind you.
The Amador Causeway is another key stop nearby. From there, you can spot ships waiting to cross and really understand the scale of global trade passing through Panama.
What many travelers don’t realize is how spread out these points are. Moving between them smoothly makes a big difference in how much you can actually see and enjoy.
That’s why exploring the Canal area in a VW classic openair Kombi works so well—you’re not just stopping at one point, you’re experiencing the full story as you move through it.
