Explore the waters of Lake Gatun, a vital part of the Panama Canal, where massive ships glide by in the distance and the tropical jungle thrives across the islands that formed after the lake was created.
On Monkey Island, the search is on for three primate species: white-faced capuchin monkeys, Geoffroy’s tamarins, and howler monkeys, whose powerful calls echo through the forest. Along the way, the tour also offers chances to spot tropical birds, iguanas, crocodiles, and other wildlife in their natural surroundings.
This experience goes well beyond monkey watching. A bilingual local guide helps interpret the landscape and reveals how the Canal’s construction transformed the ancient valleys of the Chagres River into a remarkable ecosystem of islands surrounded by the waters of Lake Gatun.
Small groups make for a more personal, peaceful, and nature-focused adventure.
Nature, history, and engineering come together in one place: the Panama Canal.
