This isn't an engineering-focused tour—instead, we uncover the complex logistics, housing programs, social unrest, and cultural transformations that shaped the Canal Zone.
Ride through 15–19 km of local streets while discussing U.S. brands like Coca-Cola and McDonald’s, the architecture of canal-era housing, and how American influence reshaped Panamanian identity.
