Itinerary
Right next to Panama City and on the banks of the Panama Canal, the park covers both sides of the continental divide with 55,000 acres (220 km2) of protected tropical rainforest. We will drive through Soberania National Park on our way to the Gamboa on the Chagres River.
The Chagres River is the main source of water for the Panama Canal. The river was dammed a few miles from it's exit to the Caribbean Sea to create the lake on which ships would travel from one ocean to the other.
This tour bypasses the Lock System by land, and goes inside the lake of the Panama Canal from the middle. We will be next to the big cargo ships and ocean liner vessels on our way to spot for fauna.
It was the largest man made lake in the world when it was created in the early twentieth century. It is the main body of water through which cargo ships traverse the Panama Canal.

About Panama City
Panama City is the capital at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal, with a colonial old quarter, a glittering skyline and rainforest at its edge.
Panama City sits on the Pacific coast beside the entrance to the Panama Canal, and ships queue in the bay for the passage. The Miraflores Locks, a short drive from the centre, let visitors watch vessels being raised and lowered. Casco Viejo, the old quarter founded in 1673, has restored colonial plazas, churches and balconied houses, and the Amador Causeway runs out into the bay with views back to the skyline.
Top-ranked sights in Panama City: Casco Viejo, Panama Canal, Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador).
