Lots of information about the history of the construction of the Panama Canal.

Very, very interesting, even though the section on the construction of the canal was closed in September 2025. I hadn't realized how much the country suffered from the existence of the Canal Zone and how difficult its relationship with the US still is today. Dig out your Spanish; it's not wise to address everyone in English right away.

An absolute must for anyone interested in the history of the country. In the Museo del Canal, not only the emergence of the Panama Canal is illuminated in a super exciting way, but also the development of the country and its inhabitants in the course of it. Super informative and well done!
