Monkey Island Eco tour with pick up
Enjoy the experience of a boat tour in english inside the Panama Canal and the biodiversity that surrounds it. I will pick you up from your accommodation in downtown of Panama City to go 30 minutes by car to the Soberanía National Park where we will take a boat and get into the Panama Canal. We will pass by huge ships and experience the scale and importance of this magnificent feat of engineering. Inside the Canal we will arrive at a group of islands in a protected area in order to see as many species of animals as possible (and there are many !!), among them we will see monkeys, crocodiles, birds, iguanas, sloths and others. You will learn about the types of ships that pass through the Canal, you will identify animals and develop your vision to spot them. This is an extraordinary experience and memorable, completely outdoors and you will enjoy it a lot! Other things to note You have to remember that it is not a zoo, you will visit a natural habitat, although one of the objectives is to observe animals, it is not easy to find them, I will do everything possible and with your participation so that we can spot them but on very few occasions it is possible not to find some species.
