Reach the top sun-drenched pavilion surrounded by vibrant flowers, and observe colorful birds, butterflies, and hear white-faced capuchin monkeys howl in the distance. Climb up the observation tower and marvel at the Soberanía National Park's dense rainforest all while observing large cargo ships maneuvering the narrowest part of the Panama Canal: the Snake Cut. Next, head to the replica village called Embera Village to see how indigenous communities once lived, and learn about the country's flora, fauna, and culture from your expert guide.
