Day 1

place Panama Jungle Canal Adventure

Departure from Panama City (your hotel) towards the pier in Gamboa to embark on an adventurous boat trip through the rainforest surrounded by exotic tropical vegetation and wildlife. On this tour you can observe a variety of marine and terrestrial bird species, sloths, monkeys, iguanas and crocodiles in their natural environment while the trip across Gatun Lake permits you to navigate the boat alongside the gigantic cruise ships and freighters transiting the Canal. After taking our time to marvel at the natural wonders this area has to offer we will be taken to the lake’s only houseboat to have lunch and relax a little bit before engaging in one of the exciting activities the afternoon has in store for us. You can choose to have a swim in the lake, take a kayak on Rio Pajathat takes you to a waterfall or grab a fishing rod and set out for your “Big Catch”. We will arrive back to the pier in Gamboa in the late afternoon to make our way back to the hotel.
