Imax- Canal De America
Immerse yourself in a captivating experience at the Panama Canal IMAX THEATER. The documentary "Panama Canal Land Divided – A World United" will transport you to the dense Panamanian jungle, immerse you in 19th century French excavations and show you the transformation of maritime transport and tropical medicine thanks to centuries-old engineering. Presented in IMAX 3D, on the second largest screen in the world, this screening will fully immerse you in the fascinating history and scope of the interoceanic waterway. The documentary addresses the impact of the Panama Canal, exploring its operations and the vessels that have crossed this vital route. Morgan Freeman's captivating narrative adds a touch of class. In addition, the IMAX 3D theater room (its screen is the second largest in the world) enriches the offer of the Miraflores Visitor Center, which includes a souvenir shop, cafeteria and ice cream parlor.
We will pass in front of the Marcos A. Gelabert International Airport, standing out as the second busiest airport in the country in terms of air traffic and passengers transported. The history of this airport traces its origins to Albrook Air Force Station, a former United States Air Force base in the Canal Zone. Established in 1932, this facility was transferred to Panama on September 30, 1997, as stipulated in the Torrijos-Carter Treaties. This relevant airfield, now known as the Albrook "Marcos A. Gelabert" International Airport, opened its doors to civil air service in January 1999. Its strategic location and history give it a prominent place in the Panamanian airport network.
