treasures of the Panamanian rainforest. Once there, you ll experience nature in a whole different way.

The boat ride passes through the Gatun Lake of the Panama Canal, giving you the chance to see the different vessels during their transits through the Canal.

Afterwards, 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 sundrenched 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 the Observation Tower 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!
