Colón, located on Panama's Atlantic coast, is home to the Colón Free Trade Zone, the largest free port on the American continent and the second-largest globally. This strategic location serves as Panama's primary Atlantic port and a gateway to Central and South American markets. The city's economy revolves around maritime trade, warehousing, and distribution, with modern container terminals and specialized facilities for handling diverse cargo types.
