Incredible Culinary Experience at Miraflores Locks Restuarant & Bar
|
|
Almost every visitor to Panamá will take in one of the great Wonders of the World, the Panamá Canal. Between the Bridge of the Americas and The Centenary Bridge sits Miraflores Locks, the most visited of all the locks. This is also the location of the current expansion where two new locks are being constructed.
Although I have visited Miraflores locks many times proudly touring friends and family as part of their Panamá experience, I was not aware of the elegant restaurant located on the second floor. |

Wendy quickly jumped out of the car with her camera around her neck and ran to the rescue. Not knowing what it was, I was fearful for Wendy as the creature had three long claws. |

Panama’s high season (November – March) is better known as “Snow Bird Season”—Canadians escaping the cold winters of Canada—and can be a popular time for tourist. The low season (April – October), also known as “the rainy season”, has its benefits too.
