Portobelo, home of the Black Christ, is a town full of
history and legends. It became one of the most important
points in the transfer of gold and silver because of its
system of fairs and galleons and its long harbor and forts
built to protect the growing town.
Portobelo introduces visitors to the adventure and intrigue
of the age of pirates and conquistadors. Visitors tour the
forts and newly restored customs building in addition to the
local church, which houses the famous “Black Christ”.
Return by van.

On the way back, you will board the transcontinental train
for a historical ride alongside the Panama Canal. This 8th
wonder of the world is famous for its breathtaking beauty
and drama of its construction.
Originally completed in 1855, The Panama Railroad became the
first transcontinental railroad. The French Panama Canal
Company purchased the railroad in 1880 to assist in their
attempt to build the Panama Canal. In 1904, the United
States purchased the New Panama Canal Company's assets from
the French, including the railroad. The United States
rebuilt and operated the railroad until 1979, when it was
transferred to Panama under the terms of the Panama Canal
Treaty. In 1998, Panama privatized the railroad and awarded
a 50 year concession to the Panama Canal Company, a joint
venture of Kansas City Southern and Mi Jack Products, to
rebuild and operate the line. The new "reborn" railroad
began operations in 2000. The visual charms of this train
ride will make this an unforgettable trip.
