Gamboa
One could call Gamboa the Mecca of
tropical rain forests. Given its location,
literally the end of the road of the single
road connecting it to the rest of the Canal
Zone, Gamboa is adjacent to significant
tracts of relatively undisturbed rain
forests. A trail that follows an old
pipeline, the Pipeline Road, is considered
one of the best birding hikes in Panama From
the toucan to the great egret, it is one of
the premiere bird watching sites in all of
Central America. Gamboa is home to caymans,
crocodiles, opossums, jaguarundis and
iguanas.
The only attraction here is the Gamboa
Rainforest Resort, built in the Gamboa Ridge
area, which attracts tourists from all
around the world.
