Offering a peaceful escape from busy city life, this small town is the perfect gateway to explore the wonders of Panama's diverse wildlife and tropical landscapes.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in the early 20th century, Gamboa was once a vital base for workers building and maintaining the Panama Canal. Today, its heritage can still be seen in the historic houses and unique charm of the town. The nearby railroad and canal structures are living reminders of the crucial role Gamboa played in one of the world's most impressive engineering feats.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit is during the dry season from December to April when rain is less frequent, and outdoor activities like wildlife tours and boat trips are more enjoyable. The green season (May to November) brings lush scenery, but you can expect occasional rain showers.
