2023 Visitor Guide to Panama's Pipeline Road and Rainforest Discovery Center (ePub)

2023 Visitor Guide to Panama's Pipeline Road and Rainforest Discovery Center

New for 2023, this Visitor Guide to Pipeline Road and the Rainforest Discovery Center is a comprehensive and helpful pre-planning guide and travel companion for birders and animal lovers planning to visit Pipeline Road or the Rainforest Discovery Center, Panama's most famous birding destination.

I have divided the book into seven sections:

Section #1: Pipeline Road - an overview of the initial portion of Pipeline Road until you reach the Rainforest Discovery Center.
Section #2: Rainforest Discovery Center - an in-depth description of the Rainforest Discovery Center, including the observation tower, trails, and m and main building.
Section #3: Pipeline Road - an overview of Pipeline Road beyond the Rainforest Discovery Center, including Radio Hill.
Section #4: Photography - recommendations on what to bring and what to expect.
Section #5: Getting to Pipeline Road - how to get to Pipeline Road by bus, taxi, and private vehicle.
Section #6: Miscellaneous - I briefly touch on footwear and insects.
Section #7: References - a list of 20+ internet links pointing to Google Maps and websites to help you better acquaint yourself with Pipeline Road, Gamboa, and the surrounding area.

In addition, you'll find 19 full-color photographs and a Rainforest Discovery Center Trail Map.

The chapters share a similar structure. Below the title is a single image (tap on it to enlarge it) with a caption. I've also populated most pages with multiple images to support the text.

My opinions and recommendations in this book are based solely on first-hand, personal experiences, having always visited Pipeline Road and the Rainforest Discovery Center as an independent traveler, never as part of an organized tour. I collected the information over multiple visits just before its publication, so you can be sure the information presented is current and accurate.
