At noon, we began our Aerial Tram Ride. It was lovely passing through the trees, but because it was the hottest part of the day, we did not see any animals or birds. Very disappointing. We climbed a tower at the top of the forest and were able to enjoy the surrounding views including the Panama Canal.

After riding the tram up 280 feet, we climbed a tower to have a better view of the Panama Canal and surrounding area. I am wearing my insect repellent clothing as I am a little nervous having had three bad reactions to bites in NC recently. |
