We stopped at Canopy Lodge for five days in mid November, supposedly towards the end of the rainy season, but nobody had told the rain. However the venue and the accomodation was so good that we simply ignored the weather and enjoyed a relaxing break, but with plenty to see and do. We added considerably to our list of birds... more

From the moment you walk across the bridge over the creek to the lodge, you enter another world. One in which you have all of the amenities of a first class hotel with the ambience of being secluded in a natural setting. We visited as a birding group and so were immediately drawn to the bird feeders which were the... more

Our group, Venice Audubon, consisted of 12 birders. We were treated royally from arrival through to the last day. We all had beautifully decorated, very comfortable and spacious rooms. The food , 3 full meals a day, was lavish, well prepared and delicious. The meal service was excellent in the outdoor covered dining area with full view of the forest,... more

I visited Canopy Lodge and Canopy Tower with my sister from August 28 – September 6, 2009. This was our second visit and this vacation was as much fun as the first. We cannot recommend the Canopy eco-lodges too highly! For birders, Canopy Lodge has everything one could ask for: excellent guides, food, and lodging. Both of our trips were... more

I think that the other reviews have pretty much covered what there is to say about this delightful place. I went to Panama as part of a special offseason package and this was excellent value. The organization and guiding are what one would expect from top commercial birding companies. My guide, Dani, had spotting and identification skills which I would... more

Our second visit for birds & butterflies. Good guides; birds easier to see here than any other place we have been, except maybe in Canal Zone; butterflies plentiful and some unique; package for all services good value, A great experience that you will remember. We may go again at a different season. more

The Canopy Lodge is the second hotel opened in Panama by Raul Arias de Para. It's only a few hundred yards from his family's country home in the beautiful mountain village of El Valle de Anton. Raul tried to recreate the experience of being a guest at one of the elegant vacation homes in the village, and he succeeded. The... more

Just returned from a family vacation in Panama for a week including three nights at Canopy Lodge. The best measure of success is when my three children, all of whom are in their twenties and have greatly differing interests, all said it was one of the best family vacations ever. The setting is beautiful, the birding is eye-popping with Danilo-... more

Canopy Tower, and it's almost synonymous Pipeline Road, is a well known 'must' on all serious birders lists of places to visit. We enjoyed a wonderful week there in early February. But, the sleeping giant is its sister lodge, the elegant Canopy Lodge. Both operated by the legendary Raul Arais. It has top notch birding guides, excellent birding locations for... more
