WHAT YOU VISIT
Fort San Lorenzo
The original wooden fort was built in 1595 by the Spanish Crown to protect transatlantic trade against pirates. However, pirate Sir Henry Morgan captured and destroyed it in 1671. The fort you see today was constructed between 1761 and 1768 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site cited as a magnificent example of 17th and 18th century military architecture. Walk among the ruins of stone walls, vaulted chambers, cannons and prison cells and marvel at the stunning views.

Agua Clara Locks
Canal Expansion Observation Center
Enjoy an up-close look at the results of the canal's largest-ever expansion project. Set on sprawling four hectares (over nine feet), the Canal Expansion Observation Center is an expanse of parklands with terraces and open and covered platforms that can accommodate 400 visitors. Step outside under the partially covered terraces and roofed decks for unobstructed views of the newly expanded Agua Clara Locks.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Perched high atop a cliff, Fort Lorenzo offers never-ending breathtaking views of the Atlantic, Chagres River and the Caribbean Sea.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
As you make the brief ride from the ship to Fort San Lorenzo, it's interesting to note that the area bustled with trade, which invited pirates like Sir Francis Drake, Sir Henry Morgan and Pierre le Picard.
