Caravan All Inclusive Panama Vacations
All inclusive Panama vacations bring tourists to what many people call Central America’s “Hidden Treasure.”
Panama is the small country near the equator that connects Central America to South America. Though relatively small in size, it is brimming with culture shaped by European and Spanish traditions and a friendly population generally made up of Spanish speaking Roman Catholics.
Panama’s strategic geographic location makes it a gathering place of people from all over the world. In recent years Panama has gone to great lengths to attract worldwide vacationers and tourists to its country. Many of these tourists are eager to witness the workings of the engineering feat that often claims the title as the “Eighth Wonder of the World” – the Panama Canal.
Panama Canal Cruises
One of the most popular activities on Caravan all inclusive Panama vacations is a Panama Canal cruise. Getting to watch the gates in the canal open and close is exciting but there are also other great water adventures to take part in:
Gatun Lake Cruise
This man-made lake is one of the most important features of the Panama Canal. Strategically built in the Chagres Valley, Gatun Lake holds more than 5.2 cubic kilometres of water. What were once mountain peaks surrounding a valley are now hilltop islands. One of the highlights of this Panama boat cruise is a visit to Monkey Island.
Panama Locks Cruise
Travel with Caravan Tours, and see first-hand the opening and closing of the 6-foot thick steel gates of both the Miraflores Locks and the Pedro Miguel Locks. Be sure to check out Miraflores Visitor Center Museum. Transit and trade through the Panama Canal don’t slow down for tourists as tugboats guide large vessels through the canal.
Chagres Rivers Cruise
Get up close and personal with the wildlife that inhabit the land along the Chagres River. The river cuts through Central America, crosses the Continental Divide and drains into the Caribbean Sea.

While enjoying all inclusive Panama vacations make sure to visit this country’s most popular destinations:
