    Gatun Lake, Panama Canal, Panama Cruise Port

    As your cruise ship arrives on Panama waters, you will be taken to the shores of Gatún Lake via tenders. This large artificial lake to the south of Colón, Panama forms a part of the Panama Canal and remains one of Panama’s biggest tourist draws all year round. Be sure to book a shore excursion in order to disembark your cruise ship for amazing photo ops, wonderful scenery and a day trip to Colón, Panama. The cruise port of Lake Gatún is the most scenic spot on this famed passage between the oceans, and it takes approximately 15 miles to travel across the lake. Until 1907, Gatún Lake covered what was once the fertile Chagres River Valley, and it is currently surrounded with protected parkland, beautiful lodges, monkeys and rare tropical birds.
