During the tour we will also be able to find tropical birds, iguanas, crocodiles, and other animals in their natural habitat.
But this experience goes far beyond observing monkeys. Your bilingual local guide will help you interpret the landscape and discover how the construction of the Canal transformed ancient valleys of the Chagres River into an extraordinary ecosystem of islands surrounded by the waters of Lake Gatun.
