Gamboa Rainforest Experience – SRCD

After a 45-minute bus ride through the Rainforest, we will arrive at the gorgeous Gamboa Rainforest Resort in the Soberania National Park. This area has been designed for you to do as much or as little as you like while exploring the many treasures of the Panamanian Rainforest. Once there, we will experience nature in a whole different way.

A boat tour will take you through the Panama Canal into secret waterways to find islands where white-faced Capuchin and Howler monkeys can be seen leaping in the trees above. Occasionally, they become curious about visitors and venture down to look closer. The boat ride passes through the Gatun Lake of the Panama Canal, allowing you to see the different vessels during their transits through the Canal.

Afterward, you will take the Aerial Tram through the Rainforest and ascend approximately 280 feet from the shadowy forest floor, through the dense undergrowth, and up to the sun-drenched canopy with its thousand shades of green that are only interrupted by the vibrant colors of flowering trees.

Once at the top, you will have the opportunity to walk up our Observation Tower (also accessible for wheelchairs), from where you will have an uninterrupted view of the vast Rainforest of the Soberania National Park while at the same time watching the vessels maneuver through the Galliard Cut (the narrowest part of the Panama Canal).

Finish the trip with a visit to the Sloth Sanctuary for a unique sloth encounter.

If it rains during the rainforest tour, don’t worry; we’ve got you covered with ponchos! After all, a little rain can be part of the adventure when you’re in the Rainforest.
