One of this tour’s fine hotels
Our goal is always to find the most interesting and memorable lodging a region offers. Here's one of our favorites from this itinerary. For a complete list, please call or email us.
Gamboa Rainforest Resort
Nestled in the middle of the Soberania rainforest, on the banks of the Chagres River and Panama Canal, is the Gamboa Rainforest Resort. All rooms include balconies overlooking the river and rainforest. A 60 foot waterfall plunges into the pool that is divided in two sections: one for kids and a second area for adult swimming and relaxation. From the resort, explore miles of trails in the rainforest spotting exotic birds and monkeys. After a day outside, rest in the hammock on your own private balcony.
