Reconnect with the earth and relish the untouched wilderness

If you're seeking a retreat away from the bustling city life, Gamboa Rainforest is the perfect destination to immerse yourself in the wonders of the natural world.

Gamboa Rainforest's verdant canopy provides a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and eco-tourists alike. Set out on guided nature walks through the dense jungle, where knowledgeable local guides unveil the secrets of the rainforest's intricate ecosystems. Keep an eye out for toucans, sloths, howler monkeys, and a myriad of vibrant bird species that call this biodiverse paradise home.

As Gamboa lies near the Panama Canal, it offers a unique opportunity to combine rainforest exploration with canal adventures. Take a boat tour along the Chagres River, a vital tributary of the canal, and witness ships transiting through the tropical landscape. This one-of-a-kind experience allows you to observe the canal's significance in connecting the world's oceans while being surrounded by pristine nature.

Gamboa's proximity to Gatun Lake, an essential part of the Panama Canal system, presents further opportunities for exploration. Hop on a boat tour and cruise the expansive lake, flanked by lush hills and teeming with wildlife. Spot playful capuchin monkeys swinging from branches and observe caimans basking in the sun along the lake's shoreline.

For an exceptional perspective of the rainforest, board a thrilling aerial tram ride through the canopy. Soar above the treetops, catching glimpses of rare orchids and bromeliads that cling to ancient trees. The aerial tram tour provides an unmatched vantage point to appreciate the immense biodiversity and ecological importance of this remarkable rainforest.

Experience the tranquillity of the rainforest while enjoying luxurious comfort at eco-lodges nestled in Gamboa's verdant embrace. Many lodges offer exquisite views of the Chagres River or the lush forest canopy, allowing guests to savour the sounds of nature from the comfort of their accommodation.

As the sun sets over Gamboa, the rainforest transforms into a magical realm illuminated by twinkling stars. Join a nocturnal wildlife tour and witness the captivating bioluminescence of fireflies, adding an ethereal touch to the rainforest's enchanting ambiance.
