The next day, we did a local tour, with a guide named Carlos, of Panama City and its highlights. We went to visit the Miraflores Locks, pictured here, and though the locks themselves are a bit smaller and less impressive than those at Gatun, the Administrative building at Miraflores houses a four-story display that is well worth the entrance fee. I especially liked the 'simulator' which was a mock-up of a ship's bridge with full-coverage video of the process of moving through the locks. It was so real you found yourself swaying with the ship's rocking. The other wonderful display was a full-on room-full of insects in small groups mounted in dramatic niches. This showed the incredible variety and had a lot of information about each species. Simply beautiful.
