Gamboa Rainforest Resort

The Gamboa Rainforest Resort is a luxury destination resort located on the Panama Canal, in the heart of the lush Panamanian rainforest. Exploring the rainforest has never been easier, since all of its attractions and most of its tours are found right on its property, or only minutes away from the grounds. Strolling along the pathways and trails located throughout the resort, you will discover a variety of educational exhibits, each one designed to explain a different element of the rainforest. You can visit a freshwater fish aquarium, orchid and botanical gardens, a butterfly nursery, turtle and iguana nesting areas, a reptile exhibit, historical and cultural displays, or sign up for various nature and observation tours.

For a bird’s-eye view of the Soberania National Park and Panama Canal, climb aboard the specially designed aerial tram and glide quietly through the rainforest canopy, where you will encounter plants and animals rarely seen by visitors on the ground. But your appreciation of this tropical environment doesn’t have to stop at the forest floor.

A first-class marina provides tours of the Chagres River and Lake Gatun, sport fishing trips for peacock bass and other exotic freshwater species (catch and release only), kayaking trips, and tours to the Smithsonian Tropical Research institute on Barro Colorado Island.
