As entry into Panama is currently restricted, all international flights into or out of Panama have been suspended for 30 days beginning March 22, and all non-essential businesses in Panama have been ordered to close, the Canopy Tower, Canopy Lodge, and Canopy Camp are currently closed. We will be monitoring the situation as it develops and providing updates here on our website. We are very sorry that our guests will not be able to join us in Panama in the near future, and we hope that we will be able to resume our operations soon.
Due to the unprecedented situation, we are extending our cancellation policies to allow canceled trips to be rescheduled within a 24 month window and to make all canceled reservations fully transferable to family and friends. As a small business we are facing significant challenges during this uncertain period, and we are grateful for everyone’s patience and understanding. Of course, it is up to all of us to help control the spread of COVID-19, and we hope that everyone keeps healthy and safe.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your own travel arrangements, please contact us by email (contactus@canopytower.com). Please note that because our offices are closed we will not be able to answer telephone calls or telephone messages to our offices.

"Raul and Denise, thank you for our time here at Canopy Lodge. It is an extraordinary place with such lovely people running it. We hope to be back very soon."
"...lovely rooms, excellent food and fascinating wildlife."
The Canopy Tower is unique in the World and splendid in both its conception and its execution. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology may well break its rules of not "repeating" and return to your wonderful Tower and gracious hospitality."
