Journey Through Wonders Trio – Monkey Island, Panama City and Panama Canal

Monkey Island
Your adventure begins with a scenic boat ride through the majestic waters of Gatun Lake, a vast expanse formed by the Panama Canal and surrounded by untouched rainforest. As you glide through narrow channels and around small jungle islands, your expert guide will help you spot a variety of wildlife—including crocodiles, toucans, and exotic birds.

The highlight of this excursion are the islands, home to several species of free-roaming monkeys such as white-faced capuchins, howlers, and Geoffroy’s tamarins. These curious and energetic primates often swing through the trees overhead or venture close to the boat, offering incredible opportunities for observation and photography in their natural habitat.

This immersive wildlife experience, set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most vital engineering marvels, offers a thrilling introduction to Panama’s rich biodiversity and the remarkable ecosystems that thrive along the Panama Canal corridor.

Panama City (Casco Viejo & Modern City Skyline)
Step into the heart of Casco Viejo, Panama’s historic quarter, where colonial-era charm meets vibrant local culture. Explore cobblestone streets, visit centuries-old churches, and stroll through lively plazas filled with history, art, and local craftsmanship. Enjoy time to shop for authentic souvenirs at artisan markets and take in the district’s timeless beauty.

Then, continue with a panoramic drive through modern Panama City, passing striking skyscrapers, upscale neighborhoods, and the city’s bustling financial district. Along the way, stop at a scenic viewpoint to capture unforgettable photos of the skyline—a powerful visual contrast between the country’s storied past and its dynamic present.

Panama Canal – Miraflores Visitor Center
Step into history at the legendary Panama Canal, one of the most impressive engineering marvels of the modern world. At the Miraflores Visitor Center, you’ll head to the viewing platform for a front-row seat to the lock operations—watch massive cargo ships being lifted and lowered as they transit between oceans.

Enhance your experience with a visit to the IMAX theater, where a high-definition film narrated by Morgan Freeman brings the story of the Canal to life—its construction, global importance, and the people behind it. This immersive stop is a must-see for anyone curious about Panama’s most iconic achievement.
