Definición

  • For four hundred years, European nations that wanted faster access to the land and riches of the Pacific Ocean dreamed of building a passage through Central America to unite the two great oceans. As early as 1529, Spanish conqueror Hernando Cortés made a proposal to Charles V for the construction of an isthmian passage through Panama.
