river canyon panama bayano river panama canyoning cave tours bayano canyoningBayano Lake was created from Bayano River and its feeders after the construction of a dam and hydroelectric plant that provides the city of Panama and other areas, electricity today. The lake is divided into three zones interconnected by a total of 135 square miles (350 square kilometers). 80% of the lake shore is within the region of Madungandí, populated by indigenous Kuna, Embera and Wounaan, Amerindian people.

Bayano Lake is a jewel of Panama, with a spectacular environment that is home to hundreds of birds and other animal species, some of them very rare. Chief among its many splendors, is found in the caves of Lake Bayano in Panama.

The caves were formed over many centuries by an underground river that still flows today, the erosion of limestone, and a combination of several factors as wind and floods. The path inside the cave lasts about four hours, with mostly easy parts. However some parts are moderately difficult, requiring more physical effort. The terrain includes river crossings, large rocks, slippery ground etc.
