Colón Cruise Shuttles

Along the opening of the Panama Canal, the city of Colón offers a historic port of entry for cruise ships looking to check out what’s happening in Manzanillo Bay. Along the east side of the water-surrounded city, the cruise port offers passengers instant access to large shopping malls with a special tax-free spending for tourists, as well as waterfront seafood restaurants among blocks of colorful streets. Discover it all by having the right transfer handy, hopping from the east end to the west end without effort through simple rides like sedans and SUVs, or enjoy larger group transfers via chartered buses and vans. And for those looking for the most relaxed experience, go with a chauffeured lift ranging from the tranquility of taxis or the luxury of knowing the truth behind each street corner with the help of a local personal driver.

Conversation-friendly corners await, especially in the blocks that surround Puerto de Cruceros (Cruise Port). Take the morning slow with a modest walk along Club Náutico Caribe, afterward walking over to the modestly rated Colón 2000 Mall, home to a throng of local vendors as well as a few gem restaurants in between, popular hangouts for breakfast and lunch including the freshly made Mediterranean at Cafe Lebanese as well as powerhouse hamburgers & fries at Mr Foodie. And for dinner, settle down with colorful shrimp platters at Arrecifes (Reefs). Beyond what money can buy rest an array of priceless getaways just outside the city as well, including the Aguas Clara Locks Visitor Center, home to a stoic observation deck and lush gravel path with cloud-like views of boats passing through the Panama Canal, and a great preclude to the astounding sunsets across Fort San Lorenzo, another outskirt haven home to old stone archways and armament lookouts.
