CANAL AREA ATLANTIC SLOPE
A Tour focusing on the rich birdlife of the Soberania National Park
The Pipeline Road is one of the best places in Panama for bird watching. It is located in the Soberania National Park and which is one of the country's protected areas more easily accessible and is just over half an hour from Panama City.
The road is on the Caribbean side of the Canal Zone, originating near Gamboa and leading northeast from there toward Madden Lake. As a result, the species composition is somewhat different from the old Gamboa Road which more or less parallels the Panama Canal between Panama City and Gamboa.
Access to both forest and wetland birds. Numerous side trails plus 11 creeks and rivers can be followed into the forest. Army ant swarms often attended by antbirds and occasionally Rufous-vented Ground-Cuckoo are found but is rare. Red-capped and Golden-collared Manakin are reliably seen displaying on “leks” along the road.
