The Canopy Tower
By admin. Filed in Panama City |
In 1965, the United States of America Air Force built a tower to operate a powerful radar in order to protect the Panama Canal. Constructed on the very strategic Semafor Hill, inside the present day Soberania National Park, the Canopy Tower is very close to the Continental Divide.
The 4 stories high tower is the perfect observatory to appreciate the canopy of Panama’s dense jungles, the animals that dwell within and view parts of the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal and Culebra Cut.
The lower lodges level has six double rooms, each with showers with hot water for visitors. The ground floor has a gallery exhibiting a presentation by the Smithsonian Institute with regards to the diversity of flora and fauna inside of Soberania National Park.
Transportation is available for visitors to the Canopy Tower from the airport and from Panama City. For more information call: Tel: (507) 264-5720 or Cell: (507) 6612-9176.
