Day 17: Gulf of San Miguel, Panama. Discover the green heart of Panama from a special perspective in the Gulf of San Miguel: traditional boats take you to the Darien-jungle, the largest continuous rainforest in Central America. In this varied habitat you will meet the Embera tribe and learn about their way of life.
Day 18: Panama Canal, Colon. The Panama Canal, a legendary structure full of history and stories to tell. The canal route meant a shortening of more than 10,000 kilometres on the New York-San Francisco route. The efforts involved, both human and financial, far exceed the imagination. In particular, absorbing the differences in tidal variations between the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean required technical tours de force.
Day 19: Colon, Panama. Your cruise has come to an end.
