Panama Canal

What a wonderful tour! Great for maximizing opportunities outside of the city. The boat into the canal was great — and we saw three kinds of monkeys! A boa, too! The aerial tram was tranquil and peaceful, and we enjoyed the sloth+butterfly+poison frog sanctuary. (Don’t forget about the lovely trees and variety of flora.) We also were alone on our tour, which was a surprise. Oh, and there’s a lunch buffet at the Gamboa Reserve. This is a bit pricier than other options, but it includes more and it’s worthwhile. Only 45 minutes from the city and you’re in a rain forest… it doesn’t get better than that. This tour captures it.
