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

Gamboa Panama and Jungleland Lodge part 2
After an informative 2 hours tour, it was time to dock at the Jungleland Lodge for lunch and quick swim. After that some people went out fishing and others, to include myself, took to the kayaks to go explore the jungle and see a waterfall.
