Travel Guide Bosque Protector De Arraiján

This national reserve runs along the entire western part of the Canal, providing it with all the necessary protection against the risks of deforestation that would directly jeopardize its safety and proper functioning. The legislation thus protects against the creation of pastures for livestock, the construction of houses, or even against possible government mega-projects, related, as was the case in 2015, to the expansion of roads or subway lines. So we do not walk in the protective forest, but we bypass it by taking the Panamanian via Arraiján to reach the Gatún Lake Lodge on the banks of the lake.
