The Chagres River flows with hardly any current through the Soberanía National Park reaching at Gamboa the Canal where it has been transformed to the artificial Gatun Lake of the Canal. It is the main provider of water for the Canal and the only river in the world that flows into two oceans. On our single or double kayaks you explore this upper part of Gatun Lake and the transition zone of lake and river.
Look for wildlife along the rainforest shores, observe waterfowl and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the tranquil waters with its patches of floating vegetation. You can also explore the rainforest ashore by walking on a little side trip.
On the drive from Panama City parallel to the Canal you see Canal sites such as Miraflores and Pedro Miguel Locks, Culebra Cut and Gatun Lake.
The 8 hour tour includes guide, transportation, water, picnic lunch and a rainforest walk in Soberania National Park. On the drive back you have the option to be dropped off at the visitors center of the Miraflores Locks or at your hotel.
