Early drive to the town of Gamboa, near the mid point of the Panama Canal. In Gamboa we board our specially designed boat for a cruise across Gatun Lake to the nature monument of Barro Colorado. Formed when the lake was built as part of the Panama Canal. We will visit the west side of Barro Colorado Island, which was a hill before the lake was formed. Established as the first wild life reserve in the new world tropics. The island has become a world famous site for tropical research and continues today under the management of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. We will have the opportunity to observe the wild life from the comfort of the boat and then hike at Peninsula Gigante where we can observe more flora and fauna such as Mantled Howler Monkey, Agouti, Sloth, Keel-billed Toucan, Greater Ani, Yellow-backed Oriole and more. Rare species of often seen here include King Vulture, American Crocodile and Peccary. While at peninsula gigante we will enjoy a picnic lunch before boarding our boat for the return trip to Gamboa.
