I am a professional tour guide and driver. Agua Clara Visitors Center is on the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal! Here, tourists gather to witness the incredible operation of the canal’s new locks. From the observation deck, visitors enjoy breathtaking views of Gatun Lake and watch as massive Neo-Panamax ships approach the towering lock gates. The anticipation builds as these colossal vessels, laden with cargo, are carefully guided into the locks. The crowd watches in awe as the water levels rise or fall, lifting or lowering the ships with precision. This seamless dance between engineering and nature connects oceans and continents, offering a front-row seat to one of the world’s greatest feats of human achievement. At Agua Clara, the Panama Canal becomes not just a passageway but an unforgettable spectacle.
