We had an amazing experience! We have seen the howler monkeys, tamarins and capuchin monkeys very close! The indigenous village was also a very nice experience with lovely people. Great guide and some awesome memories!

Gonzo was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. His english is native speaker level, so he was able to explain everything in detail and answer all of our questions. We saw 3 types of monkeys and some even climbed on the boat to say hello. We also saw a couple of crocodiles and a variety of birds. The village was beautiful and we got to see how the villagers go about their lives and learn about their culture. I definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting the area.

Highlights

  • Explore Lake Gatun/Panama Canal by boat on this unique eco tour from Panama City
  • Be amazed by the abundance of wildlife living in the jungle
  • Visit an authentic indian village to experience the local way of life

Full description

Leave the city behind in the morning and head to the Chagres River where you will board a boat for a 2-hour tour of Lake Gatun (once the largest manmade lake in the world) and the Panama Canal.
Explore the ins and outs of the nearby bays, search for wildlife, and visit the famous Monkey Island, home of the amazing white-faced monkeys. Also, keep an eye out for turtles, crocodiles, caiman, tons of bird life, and all kinds of other surprises.
Return towards Gamboa, pass the dock, and head upstream to the Indian village. Unlike most Indian village tours, this one is authentic.
Learn about the local culture, history, and crafts. Then, hike along a short trail to see the plants that grow in this area and how the locals use them (practical, artist, or medical uses) and see dance that is part of their custom.
After visiting the village, return to Panama City and stop along the way for lunch and arrive at your hotel in the late afternoon.

A very interesting day with a very informative guide. The tour felt very personal as there was only two of us in the group & I learned a lot - it was both educational & enjoyable. I would thoroughly recommend this tour
