Experience the Engineering Marvel of Miraflores Locks

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car from the Atlantic Coast to Miraflores Locks, start your journey by heading to the Pan-American Highway (Carretera Panamericana). Follow the highway south toward Panama City. As you approach the city, follow the signs for Avenida de los Martires. Continue on this avenue until you reach the junction with Avenida 12 de Octubre, where you will turn left. Stay on Avenida 12 de Octubre for approximately 3 kilometers, then turn right onto Avenida Manuel Espinosa Batista. After about 1 kilometer, you will arrive at the Miraflores Locks visitor center. Parking is available on-site, but be prepared to pay for parking, typically around $1.50 to $3.00.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  For those using public transportation, you can catch a bus from various points in the Atlantic Coast region. Look for buses heading to Panama City. Once in the city, disembark at the Albrook Bus Terminal. From there, take a local bus (usually marked with the name 'Miraflores') or a taxi directly to the Miraflores Locks. The bus fare is typically around $0.25 to $0.50, while a taxi might cost between $10 and $15 depending on your starting point in the city.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider using a taxi or rideshare service like Uber. Simply book a ride to 'Miraflores Locks' and the driver will take you directly to the visitor center. The cost for this service will vary depending on your starting location but expect to pay between $10 and $20 from various parts of Panama City.
