Has anyone hiked the length of the Panama Canal?
I'm heading down to Panama next week for a newspaper story and I want
to walk the length of the canal. Is that even possible? |

Hi LPiechel,
You should have contacted the Panama Canal Authority as they have fenced property that would require permission to enter. You should be able to email them easily enough. Aloha |

The easiest way would be to walk the tracks of the Panama Railroad.
The 47-mile railroad runs parallel to the Panama Canal, and links the Atlantic port of Colon to the Pacific port of Balboa. I took the train many years ago and it is a great trip. The line carries containers now and I don't know if they still take passengers. Bill http://shipboard.net wrote in message oups.com...

There were cuts where I wouldn't want to be walking. And a downhill locomotive makes almost no sound. -- dillon "When the French are against it, you know we can't be far wrong." - Adm.
