Cristóbal

Panama

Cristóbal is the port district at the Atlantic entrance of the Panama Canal, adjacent to the city of Colón. Developed during the American Canal Zone era as the canal's Caribbean harbor, it now receives cruise transits and calls. Visitors use it for full or partial canal transits through the Gatun Locks, excursions to the San Lorenzo and Portobelo fortresses, the Agua Clara visitor center, and the rainforest waterways of the Chagres River.
