The Canopy Family, Panama

The Canopy Family is a group of three birding eco-lodges located in Panama, surrounded by some of the best birding areas in Central America.

The Canopy Family offers three unique accommodations situated in some of the best birding locations in Central America. The Canopy Tower, located in Soberania National Park not far from Panama City, is an ex US-military radar tower that has been converted into a high-quality eco-lodge. Right from your room, our dining hall or observation deck, you can come face to face with some of the exciting bi

rds and animals living in the forest canopy, including Green Shrike-Vireo, Scarlet-rumped Cacique and both Two-toed and Three-toed Sloths. The Canopy Lodge is located in the picturesque foothills town of El Valle de Anton. From our veranda you can watch our fruit feeders and birds in the garden and along the creek that weaves through the property. Our newest eco-lodge, Canopy Camp Darien, located in the heart of eastern Panama, has comfortable Safari-style Eco-Tents and offers access to some of the most expansive lowland rain forest in the Americas. During our Canopy Camp birding tour, we search for the regional specialties of Darien. The Canopy Bed & Breakfast is located in the canal town of Gamboa, where the Rio Chagres meets the Panama Canal. It is perfect for families and is within walking distance from the famous Pipeline Road. The Canopy Adventure is a short walk from the Canopy Lodge in El Valle de Anton, and here you can enjoy our zip-line and trails through beautiful foothill forests. The Canopy Adventure and Canopy Lodge are located only 2 hours west of Panama City. The Canopy Tower, Canopy Lodge and Canopy Camp offer world-class, unique birding and natural history experiences, led by friendly, knowledgeable bilingual guides.

Small but unforgettable!

The American Pygmy Kingfisher (Chloroceryle aenea) is the smallest kingfisher found in Panama. Despite its tiny size, this secretive hunter is an expert at catching small fish and aquatic insects along quiet forest streams and wetlands.

With its rich rufous underparts and metallic green upperparts, spotting one is always a special. Join us in Panama 🇵🇦🌿 and experience finding this remarkable little kingfisher in its natural habitat!

Love is in the air… Pearl Kite style! 💕

The Pearl Kite (Gampsonyx swainsonii) may be tiny—just 9–10 inches long—but it’s a fierce little predator! With white underparts, a chestnut throat, and a dark mask, this raptor feeds on insects, small reptiles, and even little birds.

Pearl Kites build small stick nests in trees or ledges, laying 2–3 eggs. Both parents help feed the chicks, which fledge after about a month. Breeding usually happens during the rainy season when food is plentiful.

Visit us to watch this species in Panama and many more episodes of our amazing birds! 🇵🇦🙌🏽

With great excitement, the Canopy Family once again joined the Global Big Day to celebrate birds and support Panama during this worldwide day of birdwatching.

From the very early morning, our guides, friends, and participants explored different parts of the country, sharing their passion for nature, recording incredible species, and enjoying every moment in the field. More than counting birds, it was a day to come together as a community and show the pride we feel for Panama’s extraordinary biodiversity.

Thank you to everyone who was part of this adventure and helped Panama’s birds shine before the world!
