Panama’s Pipeline Road, where
300+ species were spotted in a single day by the Audubon Society, is one of the best birding spots in the world. The tour
begins with a preparatory talk about the geography and animal life of the Panama
Canal areas by our expert guide as you are driven to Soberania Park, an hour outside Panama City. During the tour you'll have
the opportunity to see and hear Trogons, Antbirds, Forest Wrens, Puffbirds,
Tanagers, Toucans, Mot-mots and many other bird species.
Join us on a morning hike through Soberania National
Park as you observe a variety of exotic tropical birds while enjoying the
surrounding trees and plants of this area. Pipeline Road, where our hike takes
place, is a dirt road that goes through the heart of this national park and
affords us views of some of the diverse bird life that abounds in the area.
Pipeline road has for several years in a row; set world record bird counts in a
24-hour period - up to 367 different species of birds. Some of the more common
sights are the Slaty-tailed Trogon, Keel-billed Toucan, Thick-billed Mot-Mot,
and several species of ant birds, wrens, tanagers and flycatchers. Of course,
just because this tour focuses on observing the bird life, it does not mean that
you might not hear or even see Howler monkeys or other mammal life like sloth,
anteaters and agoutis.
Includes: transportation, bilingual tour guide.
What to bring: Comfortable clothes and shoes (sneakers or hiking shoes) long
pants, hat, sunglasses, camera and binocular. Some insects are possible so
