Colon is the capital of Panama’s Colon Province and is located on the Caribbean coast. Colon is one of the Caribbean Sea’s most important ports, thanks to the huge portworks and docks created in the old Canal Zone at Cristobal, which is now essentially a suburb. It is one of the largest duty-free ports in the world. While it is not the most popular city in the country, it does have some amazing sights and experiences to offer. If you’re visiting Colon on a cruise ship, you’ll probably just have a day to see the region and its wonders.
Colon tourist attractions
Panama is well known as a tourist destination for the Panama Canal and its beautiful tropical beaches. Colon is located at the entrance to the Panama Canal and serves as a stop for numerous cruise ships. Colon and Panama City are linked by a luxury train. It was the first transcontinental railroad in the world, and it’s rich in history. The voyage between the two oceans (from Panama City to Colon City) takes one hour. You will pass through the woodlands of Soberania National Park and abutting Gatun Lake and the Panama Canal.
The city of Colon lacks beaches, but it serves as a base for exploring the canal’s Atlantic side. The Caribbean towns of Portobelo and La Guaira are among the attractions of a visit to the Colon province. Visitors can expect bright, raucous Caribbean flair, a rich cuisine culture, traditional Calypso music, and traditional Congo dances.
