Gatun Lake : Visit to Gatún Locks & Fort San Lorenzo
The San Lorenzo Fort is located at the entrance of the Chagres River close to Colon. It was through this river where the notorious pirate Henry Morgan arrived to the Old Panama, to take out the treasury. To get to San Lorenzo, it is necessary to cross the Gatun Locks and get into the Sherman Fort, a former military base, surrounded by a rich jungle with a wide diversity of species. It is a special place for bird watching. The Gatun Locks are a series of three lock chambers where the huge container vessels are lifted or lowered at a total of 26 meters. Each lock is 33.5 meters wide and 306 meters long and takes 8 to 15 minutes to fill with water.
Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes and don't forget to bring your camera, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and water.
