"Tucked deep in the mystical Soberanía National Park at the meeting place of the Chagres River and the Panama Canal, Gamboa Rainforest Reserve is an exceptional destination"
After your pick up at the hotel, we will drive for approximately 45 minutes to the Gamboa Ecological Reserve. We will experience an exciting journey through the heart of the Panama Canal. The boat will slow down and enter the maze of jungle-covered islands of Gatun Lake. In this protected area, wildlife is abundant, and you are likely to encounter capuchin monkeys, three-toed sloths, howler monkeys, several types of toucans and other bird species, as well as caimans, crocodiles and turtles. This is an exceptional place to experience the sights and sounds of the jungle up close. Our trained naturalist guides will ensure that you have an exceptional nature experience by tracking wildlife and educating you about it and its habitat throughout this exceptional jungle and canal adventure.
Next, we will ascend about 280 feet from the shady forest floor in cable cars, through the dense jungle. Once at the top, you will have the opportunity to climb our observation tower (also wheelchair accessible) from where you will have uninterrupted views of the vast rainforest of Soberania National Park while in the park. Watch the giant cargo ships maneuver through the Gaillard Cut (the narrowest part of the Panama Canal) at the same time. We will then move on to the ecological attractions where we will learn a little more about the unique plant and animal life of this area of Panama through visits to a butterfly farm, a frog pond, an orchid nursery, and the sloth sanctuary. We will also enjoy a delicious lunch.
