Aerial Tram

The aerial tram offers a unique perspective of wildlife in Gamboa. It includes a 600-meter-long, 130-meter-high ride aboard a gondola that soars above the rainforest, enabling views that would otherwise be unseeable at lower-levels.

At a height close enough to touch the treetops, you will have the chance to see a wide variety of nesting birds, sloths, and several species of monkeys.

At the top station, disembark for a 5-10 minute walk up the observation tower (30m high) providing a scenic 360° view of the Chagres River, Gamboa, Soberania National Park, and Panama Canal.

Duration: 90 minutes

Level of Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
