Album Info:

Panama's history as an interoceanic route began long before the building of the Panama Canal. Following the' Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire in South America, vast quantities of gold were shipped to Spain from the Pacific Ocean via Panama. The gold was unloaded from ships at Old Panama, carried overland on the backs of mules and reloaded on ships at Portobelo, located a short distance from Colon on the Atlantic coast. A visit to Portobelo, for a view of old Spanish forts and the recently renovated customs house, will round out your understanding of Panama as an interoceanic route.
