The lush Gamboa Rainforest comes to life as you soar over the treetops in a unique aerial tram ride. The Swiss-engineered tram traverses a mile-long tract of Humid Forest that lies within the Gamboa Rainforest boundaries. Ascending 280 feet, over half a mile, it ends atop a hill where an observation tower offers superlative views. A nature guide accompanies you on you ride among the treetops, and shares information and history about the area as you take in the vast richness of the forest and the abundance of wildlife that calls the rainforest home. When you reach the top station, an optional short walk brings you to the observation tower. From here, breathtaking views of the Canal and the Chagres River as well as the town of Gamboa and the surrounding 55,000 acres of the forested Soberania National Park can be seen.
