The tour will start at the Pipeline Road in Soberanía National Park, it will give us an opportunity to watch birds in a mature rainforest that is full of an incredible mix of wildlife. We will walk along trails to have a panoramic view of Gatun Lake where we can see different species of waterfowl and aquatic animals. We will spend around 2 hours birdwatching and looking for native wildlife that lives in the areas right next to the Panama Canal. We will be stopping along the way as we discover sloths, toucans, monkeys, and the many other species that reside in one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet.
Once we finish with our birdwatching, we will continue with a driving tour of the Canal Zone town of Gamboa. While your guides tell you about the unique history of the Panama Canal Zone, we will drive by sites such as the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, the Panama Canal Dredging Division, and see the houses that were left by the Americans when they transferred the canal to Panama in 1999. We will then spend a few minutes next to the Panama Canal and watch the transiting ships entering and exiting the famous Gaillard Cut.
