Boat Trip in the Panama Canal |
This morning at 8AM we board The Snail Kite, a 20 ft. boat with a 65hp outboard motor, for a spectacular tour on the Panama Canal. |
 |
 |
Most of the Canal is actually an artificial lake, Lake Gatun, and our tour will take you from Gamboa, just 15 minutes from the Canopy Tower, to the Atlantic side at Gatun Locks. |
Along the way we will pass huge cargo ships and ocean liners and will also visit hidden coves and beautiful inlets with fascinating fauna and flora. |
 |
 |
We will pass by the world famous Barro Colorado Island, managed by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. |
We will also stop in the islands of the Primate Research Center for a look at several species of monkeys, namely: Howler and Spider monkeys and White-faced Capuchins. |
 |
 |
We will stop in one of the many islands for a swim and a picnic lunch. We are scheduled to be back in the Canopy Tower by noon. |
