Panama City to Soberanía National Park

Many travelers check out the amazing Panama Canal but fewer experience the more natural side of the canal area. Take a ride on the lake created by the canal, Gatun Lake, and visit various islands in the lake, where many birds and animals live. Learn about sloths at the Sloth Sanctuary, and take a short hike in Soberania National Park to see more animals, like monkeys, birds, and caimans.

The best place to experience The Panama Canal is in the former U.S. Canal Zone town of Gamboa, where The Chagres River meets Gatun Lake in Soberania National Park. Here you will enjoy one of the most famous wildlife viewing and bird watching trails in the world, The Pipeline Road, where the world record for the most bird species seen in a 24 hour period was set 11 years in a row. This private tour consists of a hike through the tropical rainforest with a knowledgeable guide, and among capuchin and howler monkeys, toucans and sloths, you will learn about Panama's history and culture. But better than this, you will also cruise on an outboard engine boat next to ships that transit through the isthmus. You'll understand the ecology and history behind The Panama Canal and Gatun lake. We'll cruise the side channels of the canal, the biodiverse area of The Monkey Islands, where we're likely to see more monkeys, crocodiles and exotic birds.
