Colón, Panama: Canal Gateway and Trade Hub
Colón, Panama, the second largest city in Panama, is located at the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal, on the Caribbean coast, a key gateway to global shipping. Founded in 1850 by Spanish colonists, the city was historically an important trade and military stronghold and is now known as the "Colón Free Zone" - established in 1948, it is the largest free trade zone in the Western Hemisphere and the second largest in the world, with more than 2,000 companies. With more than 2,000 companies and an annual trade volume of more than 50 billion dollars, it dominates the flow of goods between the Americas and Asia and Europe. Relying on the golden waterway of the Panama Canal, Colón has the advantages of both a deep-water port and a free trade zone. It is not only a logistics center, but also a blend of Caribbean multiculturalism, preserving colonial architecture and bustling marketplaces, which attracts business travelers and tourists from all over the world to explore the unique heritage of the Canal and the vitality of commerce.
