Highlights

After being picked up from your Panama City hotel, you’ll embark on a 45-minute scenic journey to Gamboa. Upon arrival, you’ll head straight to the aerial tram ride, a canopy adventure which traverses a 1-mile (1.6-km) tract of humid forest within the Gamboa resort boundaries. Attain spectacular aerial views during your ascent and keep an eye out for the diverse flora and fauna; you’ll most likely encounter birds and hear howler monkeys. The tram ascends 280 feet (85 meters) and stops at the observation tower.

Then, you’ll proceed to the exhibits area. The snake exhibit allows you to see live snakes up close but from behind the safety of the terrariums. The butterfly exhibit, also a nursery, is an educational area where an expert guide will explain to you the complete life cycle of these spectacular insects. In the aquarium, there are fresh-water fish from the tropical areas of America, Africa and Asia. This colorful exhibit also plays host to reptiles such as crocodiles, caimans and turtles.

Lastly, you’ll visit a model Indian village with replica Embera houses, before heading back to your hotel.

We could<br/> have used a hotel taxi for the half hour ride to the train. We did se a nice view up from the deck.<br/> This entire trip done on our own would have cost us less than 100. You do not have a defined<br/> itinerary on the web. All the information is misleading - Never again will I use your company.<br/> One good point - The driver was more than nice and was the best part of the trip.</p>
