Barro Colorado Island

Barro Colorado Island, located in Lake Gatún near Panama City, was once a jungle-covered mountain. During the construction of the Panama Canal, the flooding of the Chagres River Valley transformed it into an island. Now a protected rain forest preserve, the island is home to a secondary-growth forest and boasts remarkable biodiversity. Visitors can explore the lush, dense vegetation and observe a wide variety of flora and fauna, making it a unique destination for nature enthusiasts.
