Take a small ship cruise to the beautiful port city of Colon located North of Panama City on the Caribbean Sea. Admire the Gatun and Agua Clara Locks that will lead you through the Panama Canal and on to Panama City. Tour the historically significant Protobelo National Park, home to five different ruins of Spanish forts and fantastic diving and coral reef viewing opportunities. If you prefer to spend your day surrounded by nature rather than history, visit the Area Protegida San Lorenzo Nature Reserve which includes 12 ecosystems, 436 species of birds, Fort Sherman: a former U.S. military base, and a Spanish colonial fortress called Fuerte San Lorenzo. Or relax , snorkel, and swim on Colon's best beach, Playa Blanca. Consider cruising Panama on a small ship cruise to access smaller canals, ports, and beaches.
