Colona is a port city on the Atlantic coast of Panama with a rich history and a special atmosphere of a sea shopping center. Its uniqueness lies in the combination of industrial heritage, Caribbean charm and a lively urban environment where it is easy to imagine what to see and what to fill a trip with.
Among the man-made attractions, the port of Cristobal stands out: a commercial terminal that has been operating for more than half a century. According to historical data, the first wooden berths became the basis for the further development of port infrastructure.
