You will travel from Panama City in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to Gamboa Marina, then board a riverboat that glides across Gatun Lake, a vital section of the Panama Canal set within lush tropical rainforest. As you move through the lake and shoreline, you may see white-faced capuchins, howler monkeys and Geoffrey’s tamarins. With a bit of luck, sloths may be resting in the treetops, colourful tropical birds might appear and crocodiles may be spotted sunning on the shore.
Along the way, a certified guide will share insights about the Panama Canal, its history and the rich biodiversity of the Chagres River basin, so the outing combines wildlife viewing with learning about the region. The experience concludes with a comfortable return to Panama City and arrival back at your hotel, leaving you with photos and memories of Panama’s wildlife and natural surroundings.
