Panama Canal – Miraflores locks

It’s hard to capture the scale, and with the hazy weather you can barely see the new bigger lock being constructed next door (where the lock will be the size of 4 football fields)

That tanker coming in paid $100K to transit the canal once.

Visitor center (US$15) itself is so so, but I don’t think you can see the lock without going through it (they have several raised viewing decks)

US$8-10 each way for a taxi to get there.
