Colon
About 200 thousand people.
Colon sits at the Caribbean end of the Panama Canal and is a very important port city. Ships from all over the world come here to load and unload goods.
You can visit the huge Colon Free Zone full of shops, see the Gatun Locks where ships climb the canal, and enjoy the warm Caribbean beaches nearby.
