The scenic railway ride between Panama City and Colon passes through rainforest, on a dam over Gatun Lake and in some parts along the Canal. Its predecessor built in 1850-55 was the first interoceanic railway in the world, facilitating the easiest access from the East Coast of the US to California during the gold rush. After a short tour in the beautiful designed Colon, the tour continues by motor vehicle towards San Lorenzo or Portobelo.

(The passenger train is not in operation since Covid-outbreak.)
