Itinerary

Parque Nacional Soberania

Passing by

Right next to Panama City and on the banks of the Panama Canal, the park covers both sides of the continental divide with 55,000 acres (220 km2) of protected tropical rainforest. We will drive through Soberania National Park on our way to the Gamboa on the Chagres River.
Chagres River

5 min

The Chagres River is the main source of water for the Panama Canal. The river was dammed a few miles from it's exit to the Caribbean Sea to create the lake on which ships would travel from one ocean to the other.
Panama Canal

10 min

This tour bypasses the Lock System by land, and goes inside the lake of the Panama Canal from the middle. We will be next to the big cargo ships and ocean liner vessels on our way to spot for fauna.
Gatun Lake

2 hours

It was the largest man made lake in the world when it was created in the early twentieth century. It is the main body of water through which cargo ships traverse the Panama Canal.
