Posted in Tours | 0 comments

Monkey Island Tour is one of the most popular tours in Panama, and why not, everybody loves monkeys! Monkey Island Tour can be done by itself, in conjunction with other tours in Gamboa or with a Panama City and Canal Tour. Monkey Island is located right off the Panama Canal, in the Gatun Lake, that feeds water to the Canal for the locks to work. An interesting fact about Gatun Lake is that it is the second largest artificial man-made lake in the world, created in 1907 and took 6 years to flood! Under the Gatun Lake there is a subterranean city, where it is possible to dive in very murky waters.

When planning a vacation to Panama one of the highlights of your trip will be a visit to the Panama Canal. Although the Panama Canal has three locks, visitors mostly go to the Miraflores Locks because of its proximity to Panama City. A quick 20 minute car ride from downtown Panama City and you will arrive at the Miraflores Visitor Center. It is possible to go by yourself, although transportation must previously be arranged since there are no taxis in the Miraflores Visitor Center.
