The trip from New York City to San Francisco via the Panama Canal is approximately 7,800 miles, while the route through the Strait of Magellan is about 9,600 miles. Therefore, the trip through the Panama Canal is roughly 1,800 miles shorter than the journey through the Strait of Magellan. This significant difference highlights the efficiency of the Panama Canal for maritime travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

The Panama Canal changed sea travel forever. It did this by removing 4800 kilometers from the journey between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Panama is the only country the canal passes through. There was initially interest (a bit of which remains to this day) of building the canal through Nicaragua - there are three proposals being 'floated' around in Nicaragua currently to build a new trans-oceanic passing, but the Panama Canal only goes through Panama.
Obviously.
