Embark on an unforgettable journey through Panama's culture, taste, and innovation. Start at the BEC Experience Center, located in the heart of Casco Antiguo, where your senses will be immersed in the iconic flavors of the nation. Savor the world-renowned coffee of Boquete, indulge in fine Panamanian chocolate crafted from exceptional cacao, and raise a glass of the national beer-an emblem of over a century of tradition, pride, and passion, and the official sponsor of Panama's national soccer team. Through interactive tours and guided tastings, BEC brings you closer to the essence and spirit of Panama's most beloved brands-a celebration of flavor, heritage, and identity. Then, witness one of the greatest feats of modern engineering at the Agua Clara Locks Visitor Center, part of the monumental Panama Canal Expansion-the largest project undertaken since the Canal's original construction. The expansion created a new lane of traffic with a state-of-the-art set of locks that have doubled the Canal's capacity, transforming global maritime trade and economies of scale. The Agua Clara Observation Center, set in a lush, open-air park of four hectares, offers panoramic views from roofed terraces and elevated platforms. Up to 400 visitors at a time can marvel at massive Neopanamax vessels navigating the locks and enjoy sweeping vistas of the majestic Gatun Lake, a key segment of the Canal route. Together, these experiences offer a unique and enriching exploration of Panama-where tradition meets innovation, and every moment tells a story of passion, progress, and pride.
