The Bridge of Life building will be located in the
Amador area of Panama City, at the tip of a causeway on the Pacific
entrance to the Panama Canal. This privileged location is a few
blocks away from the main cruise ship port in Panama, and minutes
away from Panama's Soberania National Park, a lush rain forest
preserve that is immediately adjacent to Panama City.
This area has a rich history; it originally consisted of a series of islands that were linked by a causeway created from rocks dug out during the creation of the Panama Canal. The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) has a marine research station in one of the islands, and there is a beautiful marina as well as shops and restaurants. A new convention center, finished in 2002, hosted the 2003 Miss Universe pageant.
Amador offers visitors to Panama an unparalleled opportunity
to experience the best of what this country has to offer. With
the creation of the Bridge of Life museum, it will also
offer an exciting window into Panama's rich natural life.
