Rainforest & Aerial Tram

A Trip Through the Tropical Treetops Enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the lush Gamboa rainforest on board an open-air aerial tram. Panama’s tropical rainforest is one of the world’s most complex ecosystems. You will experience nature up close as your tram climbs from the forest floor, through the dense undergrowth, up to the sun-drenched canopy approximately 280 feet above the ground. Via an audio guide, listen to a description of the tropical plants and local wildlife as you travel through the treetops. Keep watch for the colorful birds and butterflies, white-faced capuchin monkeys and sloths that call the jungle home. Climb the stairs to the top of the Gamboa Observation Tower, where you will enjoy phenomenal views of the Chagres River, Gatun Lake and the Panama Canal. Back on the ground, you may even hear the distant call of howler monkeys as you enjoy a light refreshment prior to returning to port. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
