Gamboa is a small enchanting town only 40 minutes from downtown Panama. Located on the Chagres River, near the Panama Canal, it is surrounded by rainforest and wetlands that make it a nature lover's paradise. Hike through Soberanía National Park for the chance to discover the colourful native plants and exotic birds, from tropical toucans to proud harpy eagles. Along the journey through lush greenery, there is also the chance to encounter sloths, jaguars, and crocs, or to kayak across Gatun Lake to Monkey Island inhabited by Howlers, Capuchins, and Tamarins. The tranquil jungle surroundings make Gamboa perfect for quiet reflection and relaxing eco-adventures.
