Between the Locks (3)

travelling through the Gaillard Cut one sees the terrasses and fortifications on the manmade mountains to avoid erosion and run-off from the rain (which falls quite often).

The Gaillard Cut, or Culebra Cut, is an artificial valley that forms part of the Panama Canal, linking Lake Gatún, and thereby the Atlantic Ocean, to the Gulf of Panama and hence the Pacific Ocean. It is 12.6 km (7.8 mi) from the Pedro Miguel lock on the Pacific side to the Chagres River arm of Lake Gatun, with a water level 26 m (85 ft) above sea level.
