The Gamboa Rainforest Resort
The Gamboa Rainforest Resort is the only resort of its kind in Panama. Sitting on 340 acres in the heart of Soberania National Park, it was created in 2000 to showcase the natural flora and fauna of the Panamanian rainforest. What’s especially nice about the resort—in addition to its location on the banks of the Chagres River, which feeds the Panama Canal—is the many eco activities offered.
One of the most popular is the on-property aerial tram tour, which takes guests high above the rainforest to get an amazing view of the many tropical trees, plants and animals that live below. The observation tower at the end of the tram tour affords amazing views of the Panama Canal. After the tram ride, guests can visit various exhibit houses including a reptile, orchard and butterfly displays. The tram ride is a great way to see a variety of wildlife that inhabits the rainforest and is especially suited to families traveling with kids.
