The Canopy Tower is located in the heart of Soberanía National Park, and virtually surrounded by the best birding spots in Central Panama. Most of these hotspots, shown in the following map, are a mere 10 minute drive (by Rainfomobile or Birdmobile, of course!) from the Tower, and others, such as the Metropolitan Nature Park or the world famous Pipeline Road, are less than half an hour away. The Canopy Tower is located on the Atlantic Slope, but very close to the continental divide. Therefore, it is a great place from which to get a good sense of the differences in habitat between the two slopes, and the different birds that inhabit them.

Whether you're interested in birds, bugs, or tropical beauty, Panama is a photographer's paradise, and we are fortunate to have been visited by some of the finest. If photography's part of your life, be sure to bring your camera! Visit our photographers' gallery for a preview of what you'll see, read our special Questions Frequently Asked by Photographers.
