The grand name belies the simplicity and local feel of this small recreational area used by residents of the Atlantic community and employees of the Panama Canal Commission. Enjoy the Panamanian hospitality. While ashore you can experience folk dances and entertainment, marvel at the excellent handicrafts, or just relax. Take a nature walk to see sloths, monkeys, iguanas and various species of butterflies and birds -- and possibly swim in the Panama Canal. See the Gatun Locks and ships passing through at a very close range.
