Gamboa Rainforest Resort - PANAMA

Luxury comes in many guises, but there are few experiences like a visit to the unbelievable Gamboa Rainforest Resort – where can you experience a myriad of fantastic spa treatments and gourmet dining set amongst 100 hectares of Panamanian rainforest. The resort lies within the Soberania National Park, along the banks of the Chagres River and Gatun Lake where some of the best fresh watersport fishing in the area is offered. This provides an opportunity to engage fully with a fascinating rainforest environment with absolutely no compromise on luxury or convenience. The experience begins as you check into the hotel’s 1900’s tropical style lobby, and are rewarded with a spectacular view of the Chagres River as it winds its way towards the Panama Canal. Rooms with balconies overlooking the river and the rainforest provide an incomparable place from which to observe over 950 species of birds. Experience the secrets of the upper rainforest canopy with a ride on an aerial tram from the shadowy rainforest floor into the sun drenched canopy. Enjoy a boat cruise, or take out a pedal boat or kayak to see iguanas and caimans.
