Tour Itinerary
Our most popular canyoning adventure, The Jungle Challenge will keep your adrenaline level at maximum. Our journey takes place one hour from Panama City, in the pristine rainforest of Chagres National Park. After a 15 minute dugout canoe transfer, we reach the trailhead. Here we embark on a challenging trek through dense jungle growth, along a narrow trail with many steep inclines and descents.
Along the way, our trekking guide will point out the flora and fauna that inhabit this rich environment. If all goes well, we should reach the headwater of Iguana Creek within one hour. One by one, we face the first of the falls of Iguana Creek. After rappelling the slippery, 20 meter rock face, we disengage and swim through the cool falls pool to await our fellow explorers. After this first challenge, we continue on downriver to a 37 meter rappel and scramble along the winding riverbed. You'll continue to trek through unpredictable jungle terrain until we reach the final fall.
After a 3 meter roped descent, we finally return to the Chagres River, where our canoe awaits. You'll enjoy the canoe transfer to a nearby Emberá Indian Village where we can change clothes, warm up, have a hot meal and relax before heading back to our departure point.
