This great rainforest adventure crosses the Chagres National Park on the historic colonial route of the Spaniards between Pacific an Atlantic. Over half of the wealth brought from the Americas to Spain was carried on this trail. Later the English built here a railroad to transport manganese from their mines to the Caribbean. Rails, abandoned over hundred years ago, can be seen still in place in the middle of the rainforest. Crossing rivers and walking in streams are one of the best ways to experience the beauty of the rainforest.
We camp in tents two nights along a river on our three day trek. The trail is in some parts slippery, especially the stones in the water. You need to have a very good condition to hike for about 6 hours a day and often in difficult terrain.
On the drive back you can visit the colonial forts of Portobelo (world heritage) or a Caribbean beach in the afternoon of the third day.
