Gamboa Rainforest Aerial Tram (Gondola)
Checked · official siteWe checked the details on the place’s own or an official website.
An open-car gondola at the Gamboa Rainforest Reserve that glides over the forest canopy to a hilltop observation tower. The resort describes it as wheelchair accessible.
Good to know
The resort site confirms the aerial tram but publishes no hours or prices. A reseller (panamacascoviejo.com) lists $25.40-$53.50 including tax and says it closes at 11:30 a.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays; other sellers say it is closed Mondays. Confirm directly. Coordinates are for the resort; the tram line itself is mapped in OSM just north of it (9.1264, -79.6974).
