Experience the magic of the virgin Gamboa Rainforest, ascending some 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. Colorful birds and butterflies are abundant here, and you might also encounter sloth or a white-faced capuchin monkeys and hear the howler monkeys cries in the distance. Then visit a place full of beautiful orchids (ecological exhibition), butterflies and terrariums with multi-colored, poisonous frogs. Then take a boat tour through the Panama Canal into secret waterways to find hidden islands that are the monkeys’ favorites. Capuchin and howler monkeys can be seen jumping on the trees above. Occasionally, they become curious of the visitors and venture down to take a closer look. The Monkey Island adventure tour begins on the edge of Gamboa, crossing the Chagres River, up to the Gatun Lake in the Panama Canal, one of the biggest artificial lakes of the world with an area of 425 square kilometers. In this great adventure you will have the opportunity to visit several islands, where you will see the flora and fauna, watch up close friendly capuchins and howling monkeys, as well as observe numerous bird species. This tour is ideal for nature lovers who will be charmed with the aquatic life, while at the same time enjoying the wonderful rainforest.
