Gatún Lake, or Lago Gatún, is a vast body of blue-green water surrounded by tree-lined shores and dotted with tiny islets, located in Panama City. Created in 1913, it was once the largest man-made lake and supported by the world’s biggest dam at the time. The lake now plays a crucial role in the operation of the Panama Canal. Visitors can explore its serene waters and lush surroundings, experiencing a blend of natural beauty and engineering marvel.
