Welcome to the Gamboa Rainforest Reserve
Tucked deep in the mystical Soberanía National Park at the meeting place of the Chagres River and the Panama Canal, Gamboa Rainforest Reserve is an exceptional destination. It’s where contemporary comfort and warm, fascinating adventures come together to offer the best accommodation for experiencing the unspoiled beauty of the Panamanian rainforest.
Just 30 minutes from Panama City on 340 acres overlooking the Panama Canal, you can commune with nature in a pristine environment that explorers and pirates once tread. Each of our well-appointed, eco- lodge-style rooms and suites offers an authentic and relaxing escape from the bustle and distractions of everyday life.
From exhilarating aerial tram rides, night safaris on the Chagres River and Panama Canal kayaking adventures to guided boat tours, fishing expeditions and much more, Gamboa Rainforest Reserve is an exotic vacation sanctuary, where individuals, groups and families enjoy memories to last a lifetime.
“Gamboa, 25 kilometers from Panama City, now seems frozen in time: it is the best preserved of all the towns of the old Panama Canal Company. No glass towers and shopping malls, nor have beautified the terse houses of the 30’s and 40’s. Gamboa remains an open place without fences, claims or commercialism.”
— Eduardo Tejeira Davis
