To start this tour, We will drive through the Soberania National Park in our way to the Town of Gamboa, during this drive we have chances to stop and see Sloths in the wild. We will follow the Panama Canal north to the town of Gamboa, where the Chagres River meets the canal. We will ride along the waters of the Panama Canal right next to the ships passing through on their way to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Our destination is Gatun Lake, where we will cruise around islands created during the canal construction and see the abundant wildlife on its shores. We will visit the famous Monkey Islands where we can see capuchins, howlers, and tamarins up close in their natural habitat. Once we finish with our canal and lake boat ride (around 1.5 hours), we will return to Panama City for hotel drop off.
