These are photos taken from our hotel, Country Inn & Suites, in Balboa, Panama, 16 buoys inside the Pacific side of the Panama Canal. Photos include a large square rigger from Mexico, U.S. ships entering under the Bridge of the Americas, the first entrance into the port and the canal. The hotel photos are here to suggest to you that if you come to Panama to see the canal, staying at this hotel, or the Gamboa Rain Forest Resort, are the only two hotels where you can see it up close and personal. Not Panama City, though they have lovely hotels also. The Gamboa Rain Forest Resort is near the canal, but the canal can only be seen by taking an ariel tram up to the top of a large mountain and looking over the entire area.
