Once the largest manmade lake in the world, at 422 square kilometers Lago Gatún is still a plenty impressive body of water. It was formed by damming the Río Chagres near its mouth, at Gatún, and is an integral part of the Panama Canal. Transiting ships still follow the submerged river bed of the Chagres, since it’s the deepest part of the lake.
The voyage takes us across Gatun Lake in the
Panama Canal passing by gigantic cargo ships transiting the waterway and
making contrast with the natural surroundings. Along the way, we will have
the opportunity to spot Green iguana and Three-toed sloth resting on tree
branches, crocodile and allow for close
approximations to rainforest covered islands in Gatun Lake to search for
White-faced capuchin, Howler monkey, Spider monkey and the endemic
Red-napped tamarin.
