Panama
Parc de la Amistad
The rooms are comfortable, clean and simply decorated with natural elements.
Built on a private 40-hectare nature reserve, the resort is a haven for some of the best birdwatching in the world. There are miles of walking trails, freshwater rivers and waterfalls, as well as the renowned Tree Trek Canopy Tour. This thrilling adventure takes you up into the treetops via a series of zip lines, offering the wonders of nature from an incredible (and entirely safe) vantage point.
Canopy Tour:
4.5 kilometres spread across 12 cables. You will glide through the trees and come face to face with an unknown world ... a fascinating perspective on life you never imagined existed for you.
Coffee Tour:
We invite you to Finca Río Cristal, at 1,700 metres above sea level, where you will visit a unique plantation of different varieties of specialty coffee. You will learn why aromas of nut, fruit or flower develop in the bean, and how processing and roasting affect taste and, above all, how to recognise a good coffee.
The Hanging Bridges:
This is your only opportunity to experience the biodiversity of Panama's cloud forest from a different angle. It is a circuit of 6 hanging bridges spanning 4.5 kilometres through the treetops.
The Puentes circuit runs through the private Río Cristal forest reserve, located in the Talamanca mountain range bordering La Amistad International Park (P.I.L.A.). You will be accompanied by a local guide who will help you learn more about the exuberant flora and fauna of our forests in their natural habitat.
Birdwatching
Join us to visit our “RÍO CRISTAL” nature reserve. A privileged site, located over 1,700 metres above sea level, within the boundaries of “LA AMISTAD INTERNATIONAL PARK” in the Talamanca mountain range. Explore the lush flora and fauna of the surroundings, where more than 150 bird species have been recorded, many of them endemic.
Tanagers, redstarts and swallows are among the most commonly observed, not forgetting the resplendent quetzal, which has made this impressive forest one of its favourite nesting sites (December–April). An ideal spot for nature and bird lovers, the RÍO CRISTAL nature reserve will be a unique experience.
