The Canopy Tour, located around the spectacular waterfall "El Macho" in "El Valle de Anton," offers the adventurous the opportunity to ascend into the forest canopy and see jungle life from a perspective previously available only to a selected few nature researchers and photographers.
This is accomplished by modifying techniques originally used by spelunkers(cavers) and canyon climbers to provide a safe and enjoyable passage above the forest floor for family members of all ages. The circuit has 4 stations.
The Canopy Tour helps preserve the private forest reserve of "Refugio Ecológico" where the Macho Waterfall is located and which is administered by Raúl Arias de Para.
ITINERARY
The tour starts picking up guesses at Panama City by 08:00 a.m. We will arrive to "El Valle" around 10:00 a.m. where we will be briefed on the history of The Canopy Tour and the origin of the private forest reserve.
We will hike through a nature trail for about one hour learning about the wonders of a tropical rain forest and pointing out flora and fauna typical of the place. Our hike will end where The Canopy Tours starts.
After a briefing on the gear and safety guidelines, guests will traverse from tree to tree and plataform to plataform using pulleys on horizontal traverse cables, as they sail through the tree tops, over the trails far below, and around the spectacular waterfall "Chorro Macho." Expert guides assist guests in this exciting journey through the different layers of the virgin rainforests and as they rappel back down to the forest floor.
Around noon, a typical Panamanian lunch will be served. Then we could visit the public market, Nispero Zoo, or any other place that the group wishes before returning back to Panama City around 3:00 p.m. We should be back around 5-6:00 p.m.
