On the Caribbean side of the Panama Canal, lovely Colon -- served by the port of Cristobal, as both cities are named for Christopher Columbus -- wraps history and natural sights into one appealing destination. A host of railroad pioneers and the pirate Henry Morgan once called this city their home, and museums and structures dedicated to their memory await here. The state-of-the-art lock system of Gatun Lake, a scenic part of the Panama Canal, also is ready for exploration through a number of shore excursions. In addition, the fascinating Choco Indians, living in stilt-top houses along the Chagres River, draw those looking for indigenous culture.
