Workation in Colon: the essentials
Americans building the Panama Railroad founded Colón in 1850, and the city still exists for shipping. It lies on the Manzanillo Peninsula at the Caribbean entrance to the Panama Canal, beside the port of Cristóbal and the Colón Free Zone, with the Agua Clara locks a little further south. Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport is about 3 km away. Much of the historic centre is visibly run down and poverty is widespread, so this is a place for port-related work or a short stay more than a long one. Portobelo and Fort San Lorenzo are close by, and the Panama Canal Railway runs to the capital.
