Barrio Norte

Among the neighborhoods of Colón, Barrio Norte stands out for its place in Panama’s principal Caribbean port. The Caribbean Sea lies immediately north, while Limón Bay and the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal are west of the city. Colón was established in 1850 as the Atlantic terminus of the Panama Railroad, a role that still defines its commercial character and transport links. The nearby Colón Free Zone, created in 1948, is a major centre for regional trade. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Colón and Panama’s Caribbean coast.
