In
a segregated area of 400 hectares, the Colon Free Zone is
located at the entrance to the Panama Canal on the Caribbean
side, Province of Colon. It is considered the second largest
free zone in the world and the first in the Western Hemisphere.
Due to its unequaled geographic position and its access to
four important ports in the Caribbean and one on the Pacific,
deemed to be the most modern of Latin America, it is what
we can call an International Ports Center. The ports are the
following: Manzanillo International Terminal, Colon Ports
Terminal, Colon Container Terminal (Evergreen), Panama Ports
Company (Hutchinson International) with the Cristobal terminal
in the Caribbean and the Port of Balboa in the Pacific.
In
addition to the ports located in the proximities of the free
zone, facing the free zone one finds the following transportation
services:
-
France Field Airport.
- Panama
Railroad Terminal.
- Access
to the Panama-Colon Highway.
- Cruise
ship terminals.
- Land
transportation terminals.
In
areas close to the Colon Free Zone the visitors will be able
to enjoy a variety of attractions such as: scuba diving, snorkeling,
angling, surfing, history and culture considered Historic
Patrimony for Mankind by UNESCO, Caribbean gastronomy, Afro-Antillean
folklore and traditions, eco-touristic activities, and much
more...…
