Discover How Panama Changed The World

Introduction

Be amazed by how our small strip of land connected a whole continent, separated two oceans and changed the world.

Description

Explore the Biodiversity Museum (Biomuseo) in the Amador Causeway, a Smithsonian affiliate interpretative museum, where you will learn about the connection between the Isthmus of Panama and the biodiversity around it. Also, how this small piece of land changed the world. This museum was the first museum designed by Frank Gehry in Latin America.

The Amador Causeway has an incredible story: built in 1913, with rocks from the excavation of the Culebra Cut during construction of the Panama Canal, the Causeway joins Panama City with four islands: Naos, Perico, Culebra and Flamenco.

After the Biodiversity Museum, you will have the opportunity to hop on a bike ride across the Causeway for 2 miles (3.5 km), admiring the bay and skyscrapers of Panama City, as well as the ships waiting for their turn to cross through the Panama Canal.

Shaved ice and popsicles with tropical flavors are around if you wish to stop and grab a cold bite in the middle of your ride. Your bike ride finish point will be the Punta Culebra Nature Center, a Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute facility where you’ll learn more about the past, the present and the future of tropical ecosystems and the relevance to human welfare. With small aquariums and biologists working on site, both kids and adults will have a beautiful experience connecting to some of the whys of Panama’s natural surroundings.
