The Gamboa Rainforest is one of nature’s most unique natural environments and habitats. It explains, better than any other part of the country, the origin of its name; Panama, in the indigenous language means land of natural abundance. This beautiful rainforest offers astounding bio-diversity of wildlife, including colorful butterflies, toucans, sloths, and cappuccino monkeys. It is covered year round by green tree canopies, and lush vegetation. At Gamboa, you will be welcomed by the indigenous Embera inhabitants, congregated in small villages, with just a few families in each, where their ancestral arts, crafts, and customs are kept alive.
