Bird Watching on the Pipeline Road - Gamboa

The Pipeline Road is located in the Soberanía National Park, at the end of the town of Gamboa. On the east bank of the Panama Canal, it is a 40-minute drive from Panama City.

 

During World War II, an oil pipeline was built to transfer oil from one ocean to another; today the road built for this purpose is one of the best birdwatching spots in Central America. The diversity of Pipeline Road can be attributed to the different habitats found in the park; primary forests, swamps and streams.

 

At the end of this tour, you can add the Wildlife Observation Tour on Gatun Lake, where you will sail around the ships passing through the widest part of the Panama Canal to hidden islands where, if conditions are favorable, you will see families of capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys and spider monkeys. An additional cost applies per person.

Aerial tram ride – Gamboa

The aerial tram is located within 100 hectares of tropical rainforest under license from the Gamboa Rainforest Resort. Here you can observe the exuberant flora and fauna typical of the neo-tropical forests of Panama. The 600-meter ride aboard a gondola will elevate you above the rainforest to enjoy viewpoints with impressive views. At a height almost touching the treetops. At the upper station, disembark for a 5 to 10 minute walk to the observation tower. Enjoy a 360° panoramic view of the Chagres River, the town of Gamboa, Soberanía National Park and the Panama Canal (Gatun Lake).

Wildlife Observation on Gatun Lake

If you consider yourself an adventurer in search of a wonderful memory, this boat trip to the heart of Gatun Lake will be perfect for you! Gatun Lake is the second largest artificial lake in the world and the heart of the Panama Canal. On a tour that combines history and ecology, you will sail around the ships passing through the widest part of the Panama Canal to hidden islands where, if conditions are favorable, you will see families of capuchin monkeys, howlers and titis.

At the end of this tour, you can add the exhibitions and the sloth nursery (sloth rescue site). Learn about orchids. Appreciate more than 15 species of butterflies and visit the frog pond. Or the cable car where you will enjoy the incredible 360° panoramic view of the Chagres River, the town of Gamboa, the Soberanía National Park and the Panama Canal (Gatun Lake). Additional cost per person applies.

Panama Discovery Center at Soberanía National Park

At the Visitor Center you can enjoy watching the hummingbirds feeding and buzzing around you. You can spend hours observing them up close while enjoying a tea or coffee.

In the observation tower you will see the base and the top, which is 32 meters above the canopy of the rainforest. The experience begins from the base, surrounded by nature. As you climb, you will be able to notice the different sounds, smells and views to finally reach the top. There are rest platforms every 8 meters.

Our viewpoint has a terrace (Lago Caminito) where you can sit and watch waterbirds feeding and flying around. The terrace is shaded by trees, so you can spend a couple of hours watching birds.

At the end of this tour, you can add the Gatún Expedition Tour, where you will sail through the widest part of the Panama Canal, passing by ships to reach hidden islands where, if conditions are favorable, you will be able to see families of capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys and squirrel monkeys. An additional cost per person applies.

Bayano Caves
(Bayano Lake)

Discovering a natural place of immense and extraordinary beauty is an experience that fills the senses with pleasure and shows us, at the same time, the ephemerality of our passage through this world. It reminds us of the responsibility we have to preserve our planet with all its natural wonders.

Upon reaching the caves, we will equip ourselves to begin this beautiful and impressive journey. We will cross canyons, narrow passages and huge caves, where we will find a variety of little animals that inhabit this ecosystem without sunlight. We will also see crystal-clear lagoons, enormous limestone rock formations, molded over centuries, until we reach a final lagoon where we can enjoy a refreshing swim in its crystal-clear waters. The approximate length of this route is 1 kilometer.

Hello Katia, my wife and I had a very pleasant stay in Panama. Thank you very much to you and Miguel for extending a warm and friendly hospitality. Thanks again for sharing Panama with us for a couple of days. Greetings.

Bob y Stephanie Woerner

We Had a Blast! Since we only had a couple of days in Panama, we arranged for Katia (Kats Tours) to give us a city tour from the moment we were picked up at Tocumen Airport. We didn't waste a single moment. Katia was great and very informative. She even arranged for us to transit the Panama Canal. That's what we were looking for and we found it here. THANK YOU!

Mague

I wholeheartedly recommend Katia (Kats Tours / Kats Private Tours) as your driver. Having a driver who shows up on time and is reliable is a game-changer. Katia is not only a dependable driver but also the owner of her own tour company. She provided us with an informative tour of the old city, recommended an excellent hotel and restaurant near the Adventure Zip Line, and even connected us with a friend who took us on a canoe trip to visit the Embera indigenous tribe. It was an unforgettable experience.

Debbie Adams

Katia,

Thank you so much for your help in making our trip to Panama one of the best travel experiences we've ever had. Your knowledge of Panama City and your country gave us a better understanding of how hard Panamanians have worked to bring Panama to where it is today. You made us feel like we were traveling with family. We hope to plan another trip to Panama soon. When we do, you will be the first person we call.

Thank you again!

Rick & Caroline Smith

Hi Katia, I hope all is well with you and your family. I just finished the Advisor Survey trip. One thing that wasn't in the survey, but I wanted you to know, is how much we enjoyed our conversation over that 2-hour period. It was professional, but also relaxed. You know what I mean. For me, it made the time fly by. I plan to call you when it's time to renew my driver's license. Maybe even before then. So take care of yourself. Keep in touch.

Gerald Watkins

Hi Katia, thank you so much for showing us how beautiful our country is. Dan, Mandy, Emily, Abby, Bill, and Claire really enjoyed all the places you took us to. When we get together in the summer, we will put all the photos we took into a video and on our flash drives to show our friends. If others are interested in visiting Panama, I will give them your information. We all agree that you are a MAGNIFICENT "Tour Guide". Thank you so much again and may God bless you.

Margarita M. Brewer

Dear Katia, back to school and work, to the "harsh reality of life," but still savoring the taste of vacation; having met you and spending some very interesting and fun moments with you. Thank you so much for making our visit to Panama so enjoyable. Please accept our warmest regards.

Sara, Tania, Esther, Nataly e Isaac

Hello Katia! I had a wonderful time visiting the sites with Daniel today. He was great! Also, thank you for the short notice help.

Zack Brinkmeier

Angela Levenstein

Paul and I want to thank you again for the unforgettable tours you organized for us. It was fun and wonderful. You made our trip a special one.

Glody Washington

We were very pleased to meet you, you made our trip to Panama more exciting and memorable. You provided us with exceptional service throughout our stay. We miss you very much!

Recuerdos de Pete y Maeve

We had a great time and everything was well organized. The bungalows are very, very rustic. More than we expected, but it was very beautiful. 4 days was perfect. So thank you, and we are happy to recommend it to other travelers. Greetings.

Wow! I was impressed from the moment we arrived in Panama... I couldn't believe it. Very punctual, polite, and above all, helpful. Our family enjoyed the trip to Panama. This is definitely the next vacation spot.

Carol y Howard Smith

It was a fascinating trip... We learned a lot from both of them. We recommend Katia and Edvin's services to everyone, they know every corner of Panama! Panama is a wonderful place to visit...

Hillary y Brad

We Got Back to San Francisco Just Fine! I didn't feel like we had enough time to sightsee in Panama. It was a wonderful visit, but next time we'll stay longer... there's so much more to see and do! We had an incredibly good time with Alex on the Gatun Locks and Fort San Lorenzo Tour. We received a lot of information and it was a great idea to just take the partial transit of the Panama Canal the day before, as that way we wouldn't be so exhausted. We enjoyed the wildlife watching tour very much. With a bit of luck, I'll try to come back to Panama in time for the celebration of the canal's centennial and the new expansion. I'll come with other members of my family! I will definitely contact you again for all the arrangements and coordination. It was very helpful to coordinate everything with you in advance. Congratulations on your baby and I hope to meet you next time!

Take care and we'll stay in touch! I'll recommend Kats Tours to my friends who are planning to visit Panama! Best regards.

The hotel had arranged private transportation for me from the airport since I don't speak Spanish, I was tired, the airport was super crowded, and it was raining... it was a good idea. It was a good decision to have someone pick me up, and that whoever picked me up (Katia from Kats Tours) spoke perfect English. 

So I had the opportunity to ask questions and get a lot of information about the history of the city.

With Katia I booked a tour to visit the Panama Canal. It was very interesting and informative. She learned English in Indianapolis, my hometown... I could talk to her for days.

The Baritoney

Panama Canal Tour. We requested pickup at Tocumen Airport. Just driving through traffic in Panama is an adventure in itself. We left customs and there they were waiting for us... we left immediately. We also organized with them a half-day excursion to the Miraflores Locks and a walk through Panama City with Katia, who did an exceptional job.

Keese

Excellent! If you are interested in taking a nature, historical, or cultural tour, be sure to contact Kats Tours. When I visited Panama, I stayed at Las Clementinas and that's where I met her. She is a wonderful young woman named Katia. She really knows what she is doing and is probably the best guide or travel advisor in the city. See for yourself at www.katstours.com

We will always cherish our visit to the "Incredible City of Panama". Happy holidays to you, your wife and your whole family! I hope to have the opportunity to return (they say there are no two without three), as I still have one left. Congratulations!!!!!!

Liliana Boero

Thank you so much for the wonderful tour of Panama. We had a great time and enjoyed every moment of our trip. Congratulations again on your upcoming wedding!

Hello,

I have recommended your tourism services to several of my colleagues and friends. We had a wonderful time during our visit to Panama. Thank you for everything you did to make our trip so enjoyable. If you ever need a reference for a client, please let me know and I would be happy to provide one. Your service is the best!
