Eco Canal

We will pick you up from your city hotel. This is a lake adventure of the sounds and sights of the tropical rainforest. We will move to the public pier at Gatun Lake after transiting on one of the picturesque internal roads once used to connect the towns and military bases with the canal support buildings. We will board a small vessel to sail alongside the big ships transiting the Canal after going under a wooden bridge where the transisthmian railroad passes. This itself is a powerful experience of watching the canal from its guts. We will stop at Monkey Island to watch, in close proximity, the tropical rainforest that supports the functioning of the Panama Canal. We slow to a cruising speed as we motor along the forested banks of the lake, also a protected area, and look for wildlife such as Capuchin Monkeys, 3 toed sloths, Howler Monkeys, various kinds of Toucans and other bird life. When we approach the Monkey Island the excitement will bring your adrenaline levels up in anticipation to these cute animals come to the boat waiting to be feed by the approved natural foods you will be handing out. Extremely educational and cool for the small kids that might be part of your group. After this, we will boat you over to enjoy a lunch of sandwiches and beverages. Finally, we will return to the pier and bus you to the Summit Zoo, where there's a mixture of plants and native animals including our national bird, the Harpy Eagle. Then we will return to your Panama city hotel.
