It serves as the primary connection between North and South America and is bordered by the Caribbean Sea on its northern shores and the Pacific Ocean to the south. Home to one of the most significant engineering feats in the world, Panama’s past is intrinsically tied with the development of the Panama Canal, a man-made waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean via a series of locks.
