    The Panama Canal - one of the modern wonders of the world. Describing it in a word - overrated. It's an obligatory place to visit in Panama - much like the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Christ in Rio, it's one of those things you feel compelled to do but after, you think to yourself "I'd never do THAT again." Getting out there is a bit of an …
