One of the biggest draws of our trip was traveling through the Panama Canal. This marvel of human ingenuity took roughly the whole day. While not necessarily overly exciting at every moment, the knowledge that you've passed through one of the greatest achievements of humanity. The fact that the lochs still function essentially the same as they did in 1914 is just amazing. Its also interesting to note that the Pacific side, the loch walls are thicker and doubled up due to the more violent tides. I've got a few videos from the trip that I though caught some of the coolest sections of the Canal. If you get a chance it is definitely a spot worth going through. The first is a time lapse of us lowering in the canal to get an idea of how far down you travel. The second is going through the canal near the control area, and the last is of the lochs emptying out.
