Balboa
Balboa, at the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal, was the capital of the American-administered Panama Canal Zone and today houses the Panama Canal Authority's main headquarters at Balboa Heights — making it a natural stop for anyone tracing the canal's history. The district sits within Panama City, close to UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
