WATCH THE PANAMA CANAL IN MOTION
The scale of the Panama Canal is difficult to understand until you see it operating in front of you. From Agua Clara, enormous vessels appear surprisingly close as they move through the Neo-Panamax locks, revealing the precision and infrastructure required to connect ships between oceans.
The experience goes beyond watching vessels pass. Observation and interpretive areas provide context on how the canal works, how the expansion transformed its capacity, and why this waterway remains so important to international commerce.
For guests staying at Ordovician, Agua Clara offers a completely different side of Panama — a journey from the natural landscapes of the Caribbean coast to one of the country’s most recognizable achievements in engineering and global connectivity.
