ECOTOUR GAMBOA ESCAPADE
Day 1:
We will pick you up at your city Hotel. At arrival after you check in
we will start our aerial tram raid. The tram ascends 280 feet over half
a mile and ends atop a hill. From here we walk two minutes to the
observation tower (which is optional) and for those with some stamina
involve a climb of a 100 feet up a mildly inclined ramp which is also
wheelchair accessible. From the observation tower you will get great
views of the canal, the Chagres River as well as the surrounding
forested areas of Soberania National Park. Returning you will visit the
exhibits area where reptiles, snakes, fish, butterflies and orchids are
shown for your observation. Also a Chocoe Indian village replica will
be visited and you will be able to see how they live. Overnight at the
Hotel Gamboa Rainforest Resort.
Day 2:
First, we travel at high speed on small boats northbound (Atlantic) on
the canal for 25 minutes where we might come close to some of the big
ships that transit the canal daily and then we slow to a cruising
speed. Slowly, we motor along the forested banks of Gatun Lake, also a
protected area, and we look for wildlife such as Capuchin Monkeys, 3
toed sloths, Howler Monkeys, various kinds of Toucans and other bird
life. Then we dock along an old rehabilitated pier that served a
top-secret US Naval radio communications center until the end of World
War II. Here we walk up a series of steps and along a 300-yard trail
that leads to the ruins of this hidden military installation. We then
will return to the hotel.
Day 3:
After lunch we will transfer you back to your city hotel
