EXPERIENCE

Departure by Jeep 4x4 directly from your hotel in Panama City, towards Bayano Lake where we will arrive in about 1 hour and a half. This Lake was created in 1976 when a dam was built to provide hydroelectric power for Panama City and Darien provinces.
Once you get to the Bayano Lake Bridge, from which will have spectacular views of the natural landscapes surrounding us, you will enjoy a 25-minute journey of sightseeing before you arrive to our private cabin. Throughout this route, you will obseve the islands that were formed after the Bayano River was dammed and pre-existing mountains were converted into these islands.
We'll then head to an a private islet on the reservoir, where together with the local specialized guide we will prepare for our adventure in the Bayano caves, precisely in the Pueblo Nuevo community, the heart of Bayano.

Entering the caves, you'll be captivated by the fascinating rock formations (there are multiple stalactites and stalagmites) and the wildlife that inhabits the space. Keep your eyes peeled for bats, reptiles and spiders!
As you explore deep into it, an underground little river with gleaming sunlight can be viewed and enjoyed. 

After exploring the caves, we'll return to the island for a well-earned break and a delicious tipical lunch. 

After the lunch break and a well deserved rest, it'll be time for our next activity: kayaking! Begin paddling our kayaks down the Tigre River. Throughout the trip, we'll get to admire its breathtaking scenery,  many species of tropical birds and exotic wildlife in a calm setting. We will make a stop for those who want to launch from the spectacular Rancho Turistico directly on the Tigre River.

If you don't want to participate in kayaking, may also rest, take the sun, have lunch, at our private cabin located in our little island. 

At the end of our two hour kayak tour of the Tigre River, we'll return to the islet and get back on the our private Jeep 4x4 for the journey back to Panama City. You'll be dropped back off at your hotel at around 6/6.30 pm.
