Embark on one of Panama’s most unforgettable kayaking experiences as you paddle the final 12 kilometers of the majestic Chagres River, tracing its journey all the way to the Caribbean Sea. Along the way, you’ll encounter some of the most impressive components of the Panama Canal, including the Gatun Locks (viewed from the river, not a visitor center) and the monumental Gatun Dam.

As you glide through the calm waters, immerse yourself in the lush natural beauty surrounding the riverbanks — home to diverse wildlife and vibrant tropical scenery.

Your adventure concludes with a visit to the historic Fort San Lorenzo, one of Panama’s most remarkable colonial ruins. Built by the Spanish conquistadors, this fortress was strategically designed to protect the vital trade route from pirate incursions aimed at reaching Panama City on the Pacific coast.

A perfect blend of adventure, history, and nature, this kayaking experience offers a unique perspective on Panama’s natural and cultural heritage.
