About this activity

Discover Panama’s Caribbean side on a full-day adventure of nature, history, and engineering.

Start your adventure with a rainforest safari by vehicle, traveling through lush jungle landscapes that are home to monkeys, sloths, anteaters, caimans, crocodiles, and more. Along the way, your guide will make several stops for photos and wildlife spotting, allowing you to experience this ecological paradise comfortably without extensive walking.

Continue to the UNESCO-listed San Lorenzo Fort, a coastal stronghold that resisted pirate attacks for nearly 75 years. Your guide will share its dramatic history and legends.

End at the Agua Clara Locks, part of the Panama Canal Expansion, where giant cargo ships transit the new locks. Learn how this modern marvel reshaped world trade.

This tour blends wildlife, culture, and the Canal into one unforgettable experience.
