COLON
The Panama Colon is best known as the gateway to the Miraflores locks, where visitors can watch the Panama Canal, one of the largest engineering works in the world, in action. The famous canal, however, is only one of the many attractions in the region. The Colon is home to the world's first transcontinental railway, and its magnificent red and gold trains cross Central America from the Atlantic to the Pacific in just one afternoon. The country's vast rainforest is home to spears, 10,000 plant species, and 900 species of birds, including eagle harpies.
