Panama - Gamboa Resort Monkeys Chagres River Boat Tour
During the Chagres River Boat Tour we viewed a couple of the Panamanian Monkeys: Geoffrey's Tamarin and The White-headed capuchin. The footage was taken during the 2016 Memorial Day weekend. The Orange County Hispanic Bar Association annual get away. The camera used was the Canon Vixia HF G30. Some of the footage maybe a bit shaky because of the rocky boat.
Gamboa Rainforest Resort Aerial Tram Tour in Panama
The glide through the jungle on the Aerial Tram allowed us to see the rainforest. Our tour limited our animal watching excursion due to the heavy rain. However, we were lucky to view a toucan.
Viewing the forest from the top of the Swiss-engineered aerial tram system was breathtaking. Gliding smoothly through the treetops, we experienced the wildlife sounds and peace of the tropical rainforest firsthand.
A Gamboa’s tour guide accompanied us throughout the entire tour. The 1.2-kilometer (3/4 mile) ride culminates at a hilltop where we had the opportunity to visit the Observation Tower. After walking up the spiral ramp, we experienced a panoramic view of the:
Chagres River
Panama Canal
Embera Indigenous Village
Town of Gamboa

Boat Ride in Gamboa
Boat ride down the Chagres River on our way to the Embera Indian village. The tour started with a boat-ride from an Embera tribe member. We pulled up to their community, nestled into the green hills sloping up from the Chagres River. As we approached their dock, the men of the community played their instruments to welcome us. The women, in their traditional beaded tops and brightly colored woven skirts, lined the walk-way upon our arrival. They walked us up the hill to their gathering area. This open area with a sturdy thatched roof of palm fronds was where they had community meetings and celebrations.

Tabasara, an ancestral river destined for clean energy
The documentary brings together the experiences of the Ngäbe-Buglé indigenous communties that resist their own disappearance. Recently a clean energy project called the Barro Blanco Project has begun a change that implies a quotidian shift in these communities. From there arises the need to resist and struggle in order to save their land being that without the land the Ngäbe-Buglé are no longer who they are. The Ngäbe-Buglé region is found in the western region of Panama and consists of 6814,2 km2 and a population of 156,747 inhabitants following the 2010 census.
The case of Río Tabasará is repeated in the rest of the central american countries. This material is an informational tool for other communities that struggle and resist megaprojects.
Trouble in the Chagres River
While boating down the Chagres River, we got stuck on rocks because the water was so low during dry season.
