New Panama Canal Observatory Opened in Colon
The Panama Canal administrator Alberto Aleman Zubieta inaugurated the new Gatun Observation Center, located in the province of Colon. Aleman Zubieta said this observatory is located in a high place, allowing for the observation of Gatun Lake, the entrance to the Atlantic Ocean, and you can see the work being done to expand the Panama Canal. Once the work is completed it will become a special place to witness the transit of ships through the locks. He said at the observatory visitors will be able to see the other locks in operation, and also have contact with nature. He described the observatory as "privileged" because it is surrounded by forest, and walking trails have been created. The administrator of the Panama Canal said the observatory will become a center to show off the Canal, and an area of education. What's more, this observatory center will be used by tour operators to see the expansion project and the Canal. (Critica)
