Balboa, Terminal port city near Panama Canal, Panama.
The Pacific Terminal of Balboa connects directly to the Panama Canal, featuring dry docks and extensive container handling facilities for international maritime trade.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers established Balboa during the Panama Canal construction, transforming marshlands into an administrative center for the Canal Zone.
The Panama Canal Administration Building in Balboa Heights displays large murals that document the construction phases and engineering achievements of the canal project.
The multimodal terminal links to Colón through the Panama Canal Railway, providing both cargo transportation and passenger services across the isthmus.
A Navy very-low-frequency transmitting station near Balboa, operating since 1915, enables communication with submarines navigating deep beneath the ocean surface.
