We had Alejandro as our guide for the second consecutive day, which was great! He again picked us up from the hotel in the clean, air conditioned van, and drive us to our destination. We started with a boat ride into the Canal to reach Gatun Lake. Here we visited various islands where the wild monkeys would approach the boat for food. The tour provides fruit for you to feed the moneys if you're so inclined. Following the boat portion of the tour, we returned to land and were driven to visit both the sloth sanctuary and butterfly preserve. A great way to experience some of the Panamanian wildlife and nature up close! Alejandro is a terrific guide and definitely contributes to the overall experience.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're glad you had a good experience.
What a fun day! We saw lots of monkeys and one even ate from my hand. Juan was very attentive to all our need!
Thanks for your review!
