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 birds 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.

🐍 Did you know? Eyelash pitvipers (Bothriechis schlegelii) come in a remarkable variety of colors, including green, yellow, red, and even pink!

Their distinctive scales above their eyes resemble tiny eyelashes, making them one of the rainforest’s most fascinating reptiles.

Found in tropical forests of Central and South America, this venomous snake is an ambush predator that often rests among foliage, relying on its camouflage to blend into its surroundings.

Visit us in Panama to look for this species in the rainforest and many more 🙌🏽🇵🇦

Raptor migration counting at Canopy Tower has officially started! 🇵🇦🙌🏽 And we want to warmly welcome Andrew Marden (), our official counter for this season! 🦅🌳

Twenty-six years ago, this project was started at Canopy Tower by our president and founder, Raúl Arias de Para. Since then, this long-term monitoring effort has contributed valuable data to our scientific understanding of raptor migration through Panama. 🌎🔬

We are also grateful to Audubon Panamá for their support of this project throughout the years! We look forward to another exciting migration season and to continuing to learn more about these incredible birds. 🦅🌎 Stay tuned! 🙌🏽

This is the cutest thing you will see today! 🥹🐣

A baby Rufous-vented Ground Cuckoo, spotted in the beautiful surroundings of the Canopy Lodge, El Valle de Antón, Panama.

This rarely seen species is a secretive inhabitant of humid forests, where it spends much of its time foraging on the ground through leaf litter. Adults are striking birds, but seeing a chick like this is an especially unusual encounter.

This little one is still at the fluffy, awkward stage of life, but already unmistakably a Ground Cuckoo 🌿

🦅 The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) is one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world. With its impressive crest, massive talons, and extraordinary strength, it is one of the most iconic predators of the Neotropical rainforest.

Their diet includes mammals such as sloths and monkeys, as well as other arboreal animals. Seeing a Harpy Eagle after a successful hunt offers a rare snapshot into the life of one of the rainforest’s top predators and the healthy forests they depend on for their survival.

🌿🦅 Join Canopy Family and explore Panama’s incredible wildlife while visiting a Harpy Eagle nest in Darién!

🦎 The Bridled Anole (Anolis frenatus) is a fascinating large anole found in Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia, from lowland forests up to around 900 m in elevation.

🇵🇦 In Panama, this impressive lizard can be found in forested habitats, where it moves through vegetation and searches for small prey.

Its name, “Bridled Anole,” refers to the distinctive dark markings on the sides of its head, resembling a bridle.

🌿 Keep your eyes open on your next Canopy Family adventure, you might be lucky enough to spot this beautiful rainforest resident!
