    We loved seeing the sloths at the sloth sanctuary and going on the boat in Gamboa to look for monkeys, crocodiles, etc. Our guide was friendly and did a good job especially since he had to take over when our original guide was in a car accident on his way to pick us up.

    Absolutely, 100% spot on. Exactly what we were looking for. Suffice it to say, I'm looking for another excuse to return to Panama, and I know exactly who I'll be contacting when I do.
