Album Info:

The commander, Diego Cueto and his helmsman, Pedro de Umbria visited the region in 1506.[2] Henry Morgan traveled the Chagres River to attack Panama City in 1670-71. It was explored in 1527 by Hernando de la Serna, and founded the town of Chagres in its mouth, and the fortress of San Lorenzo was built. Goods were transported on foot in its bed from Panama City to the coastal town of Cruces and from there sailing on the river to its mouth. This road, called Camino de Cruces, was very popular until the eighteenth century. It was not until the late nineteenth century when once again the attention of the river was focused, but to use it as a support of the Panama Canal. The Chagres River is the Panama Canal's chief source of water. Its upper basin is covered by dense tropical forests and to protect it, Panama created Chagres National Park in 1985.
