    After passing over the Atlantic Bridge, we will drive through the San Lorenzo National Park, a natural rainforest reserve where we will have the chance to spot animals from the road (monkeys, birds, coaties and more) in our way to the Castel San Lorenzo del Chagres, a massive fortress originally completed in 1601 that was once the chief Atlantic port on the isthmus of Panama built on top of a high reef, in a position that dominated the entrance of the Chagres River.
