Gamboa Rainforest

BEFORE YOU GO:

1. Pack insect repellent
• It’s a rainforest so plenty of insects and bugs
2. Pre-arrange a taxi or some sort of transportation
• Its in the middle of nowhere so getting an Uber is non-existent unless you happen to catch one as they are dropping someone off
3. Check up on the road work
• Apparently on Tuesday/Thursdays from 9:30-12, they close the bridge to go to Gamboa so you either have to wait or come back
4. Book the activities in advance
•  We just showed up at the place and they only had two available activities in which we had to wait 3 hours at the hotel before

I’ve done the cable car experience a few times, most of them being in Colombia, both Cartagena and Bogota, but each time is totally different. This experience was in the rainforest so we were going through the jungle essentially. We could smell the trees, feel the breeze, and hear the birds chirping… no exaggeration. Along the way we even saw a white faced monkey, which was really cool. No pictures because those suckers are so fast. The cable car had six towers and two stops; at the last stop we hiked up a tower to get the view of the Panama Canal and entire rainforest. It was spectacular!!!! It was honestly so peaceful, besides the cranes here and there (they are doing construction work to expand the Canal).
