Ancón

Ancón is a corregimiento in Panamá District, Panamá Province, Panama with a population of 29,761 as of 2010. It is sometimes considered a suburb or small town within Panama City, northeast of the limits of the town of Balboa. Ancon Hill is also the name of a large hill that overlooks Panama City and once served as a form of protection from pirates and sea invasion. The township was originally located around this hill, and was created to house employees of the Panama Canal during its construction. As part of the construction effort, the historic Gorgas Army Hospital was founded and built on the hillside. The first ship to officially transit the canal, SS Ancon, was named after the district.

Michelle Took Care of Everything!

I’m not very good with words, but I wanted to share how much I appreciated Michelle arranging my recent trip. She took care of everything for me — from picking the perfect seats on my flights to arranging wheelchair assistance so I could get through the airports without any stress. It made such a big difference and took all the worry out of travelling. I felt completely looked after. Thank you, Michelle, for making my trip so easy and comfortable.
