• Gatun Lake - The Monkey Island tour begins early in the morning, typically between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m., with convenient pickup directly from your hotel in Panama City.
• Monkey Island - Upon arrival at the Marina de Gamboa, participants will embark on a boat tour of Gatun Lake, a crucial part of the canal. During this journey, the boat navigates between small rainforest-covered islands until reaching the renowned Monkey Island. Here, visitors can observe various monkey species in their natural environment, including capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, and marmosets. Some monkeys may even approach the boats in search of fruit, offering close and unique interactions with these inquisitive forest inhabitants.
• Mercado de Abastos - Guided by a local expert or agricultural specialist, the tour of the market’s aisles begins, where the air is filled with the sweet, fresh scent of newly harvested tropical fruits. Among heaps of papayas, mangoes, bananas, and passion fruits, the star of the day is the Panamanian pineapple, celebrated worldwide for its intensely sweet flavor, juicy texture, and floral aroma.

The highlight of the visit is the tasting: fresh pineapple slices served directly by producers or vendors, either at room temperature or slightly chilled, showcasing the exceptional quality of this national fruit.
