Gamboa Rainforest Resort in Panama

Rainforest Hotels and Resorts in Panama

For the more adventurous among us who want to experience eco tourism and the verdant rainforests of Panana and are looking for a luxury resort in Panama, I highly recommend the Gamboa Rainforest Resort. This 5 star luxury resort in Panama is right in the center of the Panamanian rain forest situated on the Panama Canal.

Situated in the Soberania National Park, the Gamboa Rainforest Resort is actually a half hour away from Panama City on the Pacific Coast side of Panama. Located on the shores of Gatun Lake and the Chagres River, the source of water for the Panama Canal. These are a part of Panama’s most valuable assets. It is also about a half hour from the Colon Free Zone.

The Gamboa Rainforest Resort which was built in 2000, has been created with the eco tourist and adventure seeking traveller in mind. It has been built to provide adventurous and educational experiences to its visitors. Exploring a rainforest is often a difficult task and here at the Gamboa Rainforest Resort they have made it all easier for guest to explore because the Gamboa Rainforest Resort is right in the center of it all – the attractions and tours are right at your doorstep.

This 5 star luxury resort in Panana has large modern hotel rooms with all the modern conveniences of a five star hotel resort in Panama City. The amenities of all the hotel rooms include satellite TV, mini bar, electronic safety deposit box, Crystal showers, hair dryers, make up mirror, iron and ironing board, coffee and coffee maker, fire protection systems, monogrammed robes and balconies with a view to the Chagres River. How wonderful it is to sit on your balcony to watch as the sun rises or sets, the sounds of the rainforest, the beauty of wild nature surrounding you and the of the opening or closing of another day in the rainforest.

For those also in search of beauty, relaxation and pampering, guests the visit the Gamboa Spa which is known worldwide. Every service you require is available, from massages, to skin care, facials, manicures and pedicures and many other services. After a long hike in the rainforest, I liked to go for a half hour massage at the spa to soothe my muscles.

For those that love sport fishing, fishing enthusiasts will find some of the greatest fresh water fishing in the world at the Chagres River and Gatun Lake. The Gamboa Rainforest Resort offers the services of their expert guides to catch some of the huge Peacock Bass in the waters.

A few minutes drive away from the resort, for the avid golfer, there is the Summit Gold Course. This is a World Class championship golf course of 18 Hole, par 72, 6,626 yards built by Gregori International designed by Jeffrey Myers.

Other facilities available at the Gamboa Rainforest Resort are wonderfulo freeform natural water pool, a fitness center, tennis courts which are lighted at night for those who want to play tennis at night, kayaks which are free for guests to use, jogging and cycling trails.

So if you have already experienced a Panama City beach hotel and wish to go back to Panama for another type of adventure in the country, the Gamboa Rainforest Resort will provide so much more to explore for those who want to experience eco tourism and the rainforests of Panama. Panama is a multifaceted country and is able to provide all types of vacation for all the different needs of tourists seeking the sun, the beach, the wilderness and adventure.
