A stop at the folk art market at the old YMCA building will be our following stop, just before having lunch at a Panamanian restaurant.

After noon, we’ll reach our final destination of the day, The Miraflores Visitor Center, where visitors have the opportunity to observe transiting vessels from a distance of only a few meters and learn first hand about the various operations of the Panama Canal, the history of its construction, its participation in the world markets, and the importance of its watershed.
