About Mirador de las Americas:

From this viewpoint you can see the wonderful Bridge of the Americas (1,655 meters long), Panama Canal, ships crossing it, Balboa ports, Cerro Ancon, and the city.

This was a viewpoint since decades ago, but in 2004, the Chinese Community redesigned it as a commemoration of the 150 Years of Chinese Presence in Panama (1854-2004). They donated $250,000 for the monument and some buildings with an amazing oriental decoration. It was finished on March 30, 2007 and was ment to highlight the strong and beautiful cultural bonds between Panama and China.

You can throw some great pictures from here!

If you are returning to the city after getting this cache, just follow the additional waypoints included here. You'll need to drive a big round turn to get to the other side of the road and return to Bridge of the Americas. Just follow the waypoints.
