3. Folkloric Night Show and Dinner (3 hrs)
The native Indian groups created their acoustic instrument using parts of plants and shells of different animals, then the Spanish conquerors brought their influence from the Old World. The Afro-Caribbean also contributed to the culture, when they came for the Canal construction. All gave birth to what is today, one of the most attractive and folkloric heritage of Latin America.
Come see the show that is fully allegoric with typical acoustic music and musicians. The women wear the unique "Pollera", a hand made cotton dress complimented with body and head jewellery.

CANAL TRANSITS

1. Ocean to Ocean Canal Transit (10 hrs)
Hotel pick up and transfer to the Balboa Port to embark the vessel. The first part of the journey takes you into the Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal. Experience how your ship is raised up to 54 feet in a two step process. This activity is achieved by sending water from Pedro Miguel's Lake by gravity to fill the chambers where the ship is locked. Once the first set of locks is transited, the vessel gets into Pedro Miguel's locks to be raised up to 85 feet. Again no water pumps are used. Gravity is used to transfer water from Gatun Lake, which is higher, to fill the last chamber of the Pacific side. Then the ship transits the Gatun Lake, (once the biggest man made in the world) until reaching Gatun Locks on the Atlantic side. Here the ship is lowered to sea level using the same system, however instead of filling the chambers they will be emptied in a three-step process. The journey ends in Christobal where transportation will take you back to your hotel.
Tour includes breakfast, drinks, lunch and transfers and guides.
Light clothes, insect repellent, hat, sunscreen and comfortable shoes are suggested.

2. Partial Canal Transit (5 hrs)
This tour gives the visitor the opportunity to transit only one set of locks, the Miraflores Locks. The ship will turn back when it gets into the Pedro Miguel's Lake. Return to Pier 18 where you transportation will depart for hotel.
