Combine Panama’s intriguing history and its spectacular natural beauty on this pleasant walking tour into the tropical rainforests outside Panama City. Your expert guide will lead you down the Espiritu del Bosque trail, pointing out the various species of flora and fauna along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for the howler monkeys, sloths, armadillos and many species of brightly coloured birds that call this forest their home.


Learn about the fascinating history of this area from the colonial times through to the 20th century when many plantations took advantage of Panama’s fertile environment to harvest bananas, rubber, coffee and cacao. To this day you will still come across cacao and rubber trees and coffee plants.
