Panama City, Panama
The Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal lift and lower vessels by as much as 54 feet, showcasing one of the world's great feats of engineering since 1914. Visitors can see ships squeezed with precision into the narrow chambers, a process powered by gravity-fed water valves. Observation decks offer a close view of this maritime ballet.
