This is a birding tour, designed to see as many bird species as possible, with special focus on specialty species.
Discover the heart of Neotropical birding on our Panama: Canopy Tower tour, a journey into the lush lowland rainforests of Soberanía National Park. From the moment you step onto the iconic Canopy Tower, you’re surrounded by the sights and sounds of tropical wildlife. This converted radar tower offers unmatched access to canopy-level birding, where species like Keel-billed Toucans, Blue Cotingas, and Green Shrike-Vireos are often seen just steps from your room.
Each day, we’ll explore legendary birding spots such as Pipeline Road, the Panama Rainforest Discovery Center, Ammo Dump Ponds, and Semaphore Hill. These areas are world-renowned for their species diversity, giving us ample chances to encounter antbirds, puffbirds, motmots, and mixed flocks. With expert local guides leading the way, we’ll target regional specialties and hard-to-find species while soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of the rainforest.
One day includes a visit to the foothills of Cerro Azul, a cooler, forested highland region that offers a different mix of habitats and birds. Here, we’ll look for highland specialties like tanagers and hummingbirds in lush gardens and forest patches before returning to the lowlands for more classic canal-zone birding.
Whether watching monkeys swing past the tower or listening for tinamous before dawn, this tour offers total immersion in one of the most exciting birding regions in the Americas. Panama delivers rich biodiversity and unforgettable birding moments.
