The wild jungle setting of this temperate, Latin American backwoods provides world-class birding and endless wildlife to discover, Suzanne Morphet <\/strong>writes in The Globe and Mail.<\/p>\n

The tangled mass of tropical vegetation in front of the veranda of our lodge appeared lifeless half an hour ago. But now birds flit before us, popping in and out of the greenery. Our guide, Tino, hung bananas at the feeder and it\u2019s a magnet. \u201cIs that a dusky-faced tanager on the banana now?\u201d I ask Tino, perhaps a little too confidently. \u201cNo, a clay-coloured thrush,\u201d he replies. My friend Julie laughs. \u201cIt\u2019s only our first day,\u00a0Suzanne.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is, and besides, we haven\u2019t come to Panama to look at birds. Yet, visiting Panama \u2013 and El Valle de Anton in particular \u2013 and not looking at birds would be like going to Rome and not poking your head inside a few churches.\u00a0Impossible.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, look at that,\u201d says Tino excitedly, shining his little green light into the branches of a tree near the veranda of our lodge. \u201cOh my goodness,\u201d exclaims Julie, looking through her binoculars and locating a green honeycreeper. The bird is stunning, with a brilliant green body, jet-black head and yellow\u00a0beak.<\/p>\n

Canopy Lodge and its three sister lodges in other parts of Panama are renowned among birders for their prime locations in birding hot spots, and for their guides. Tino, for instance, tells us \u2013 with no hint of gloating \u2013 that he can mimic the call of 50 or more birds. Of course, he can also quickly spot them. \u201cLook now,\u201d he says, as two collared aracari \u2013 a type of toucan with large, bright bills \u2013 land on the bananas by the feeder, followed by three more. \u201cThat\u2019s a beautiful bird,\u201d he says, zooming in on one with his powerful scope for us to admire\u00a0better.<\/p>\n

The birds are indeed beautiful, but the real reason we\u2019ve come to El Valle is because of its temperate climate, what Panamanians like to call \u201ceternal spring.\u201d That, and its unusual location in the crater of an ancient volcano, 600 metres above sea level. El Valle is the second largest inhabited volcanic crater in the world after Tanzania\u2019s Ngorongoro\u00a0Crater.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve chosen to stay at Canopy Lodge because of its enchanting setting, with a wild jungle at one side and a manicured garden on the other. More to the point, a river runs through it, and water has been diverted from the river to form a natural swimming pool. The truth is, we\u2019re bathers, not\u00a0birders.<\/p>\n

The Canopy Lodge resort in El Valle de Anton, Panama is renowned for its prime location in a bird watching\u00a0hotspot.<\/p>\n

Canopy Lodge\u00a0Resort<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The large, free-form pool is better than any hotel pool. An enormous cashew tree towers over it, filtering the tropical sun and supporting a tree house where a porcupine sometimes rests in one of its cupboards. The branches are covered in bromeliads and Tarzan-style ropes hang down, inviting us to\u00a0play.<\/p>\n

On our first afternoon, we hurry to the pool. We swing from the ropes, then drop \u2013 \u201clike ripe papayas,\u201d according to the lodge\u2019s fun-loving owner \u2013 into the cool, clear water. Perhaps best of all, we have the pool to ourselves. The other guests, birders all, are too busy to bathe \u2013 at least in the\u00a0pool.<\/p>\n

When they return at the end of each day they gather in the lounge to check birds off their lists and compare notes before dinner. By 8 or 8:30 p.m. they retire to their rooms and rest up for the next day, which starts as early as 5:30\u00a0a.m..<\/p>\n

We\u2019re busy, too, just not birding. One morning we browse the town\u2019s colourful handicraft, flower and food market, then head to the community-owned hot springs. Since we\u2019re in the caldera of a volcano, it\u2019s no surprise that hot water bubbles up from the ground here. But due to some problem \u2013 our knowledge of Spanish is on par with our knowledge of birds \u2013 the water isn\u2019t flowing\u00a0today.<\/p>\n

A German man is just leaving and he tells us it\u2019s still worth the $2 entrance fee to give ourselves a mud facial. He\u2019s been in El Valle for a week and happily suggests other places we should also visit. There\u2019s the orchid centre, where thousands of orchids are being propagated for replanting in the wild, including the white and rare Holy Ghost Orchid, Panama\u2019s national flower. It sounds exquisite, with a centre shaped like a dove with purple-spotted\u00a0wings.<\/p>\n

We might also want to visit the zoo, where another endangered species and national symbol \u2013 the golden frog \u2013 is being bred to ensure it survives despite being wiped out in the wild. And have we thought about hiking up to the Sleeping Indian Girl at the top of the caldera? We have and we will. We\u2019ve been admiring the way one section of the volcano\u2019s walls resembles a person lying on his or her back. We\u2019re also looking forward to the views from the\u00a0top.<\/p>\n

That evening a couple of the birders back at the lodge share photos on their phones over dinner. Richard, from Washington State, shows us a brilliant green and red Cuban tody. Tony, who\u2019s from Pennsylvania, flashes a hummingbird before us, one he spotted in Trinidad. When I ask Tony\u2019s wife, Pat, how they got into birding, I learn it was as innocuous as buying a bird feeder after someone gave them a gift certificate to Home Depot 20 years ago. \u201cNow,\u201d she says, \u201c95 per cent of our holidays are related to\u00a0birding.\u201d<\/p>\n

After dinner, Tino asks Julie and I whether we\u2019d like to go birding the next morning. It feels like we\u2019re on a slippery slope, but yes, we would. We\u2019re up at dawn, finish breakfast by 6:30 and we\u2019re on the road by 7:15. We don\u2019t go far, five kilometres or so to the other side of the caldera. Now, the sun is up and birds are calling from the treetops. At first, Julie and I see nothing but dense greenery while Tino pulls birds into his scope like a magician pulling rabbits from a\u00a0hat.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Look, a social flycatcher. Quick, there\u2019s a tropical kingbird. Look now, a keel-billed toucan. But when Tino spots a hummingbird in her nest just a couple metres away and almost at eye level with us, we\u2019re truly awed. Her camouflage is perfect, but he found her anyway. \u201cI saw a little cup,\u201d Tino says\u00a0humbly.<\/p>\n

At lunch that day, I get it when Feliz, a doctor from San Antonio, Tex., tells me watching birds takes her to a magical place. She describes a green hermit hummingbird she saw that morning. \u201cOh my God, it was glorious, like a jewel.\u201d I tell her about a female barred antshrike we saw that was orange and frilly and far more beautiful than its name suggests. Feliz is here with another doctor who is a long-time birder. \u201cI was partial to Costa Rica,\u201d the woman says, \u201cbut I\u2019m\u00a0impressed.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the rest of our stay, Julie and I do more typical tourist activities, including riding the zip lines through the cloud forest at Canopy Adventure, just up the road from our lodge. Seeing a sloth hanging from a tree branch in full view on our last morning is another highlight. And, of course, swimming in the pool is a twice \u2013 sometimes thrice \u2013 daily\u00a0pleasure.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019ll always associate Panama with birding. Near the end of our stay a few of us are watching birds near the lodge one morning when a brilliant blue and yellow one flies past. \u201cThat\u2019s a \u2026 a \u2026\u201d I pause, trying to recall the name. \u201c\u2026 a thick-billed euphorbia,\u201d I finally blurt\u00a0out.<\/p>\n

The birders clap and cheer, even though I realize seconds later that I called the bird by the name of a plant. What I meant to say was thick-billed euphonia, not euphorbia. No matter. Panama has hooked me on birding and they know\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

If you go<\/h3>\n

Air Canada Rouge flies to Panama City non-stop from Toronto three times weekly from November until mid-April. At other times of year, you can get there with Delta connecting in Atlanta, or American Airlines connecting in\u00a0Miami.<\/p>\n

Canopy Lodge is two hours west of Panama City in the town of El Valle de\u00a0Anton.<\/p>\n

Most people who visit Canopy Lodge and\/or its three sister lodges are birders, but anyone interested in nature will enjoy the lodges and\u00a0surroundings.<\/p>\n

The company offers a variety of packages. These include five\u2013 to seven-night stays at one lodge, starting at $1,999 (U.S.) a person in high season and $1,299 in low season; 14\u2013 and 20-night packages include stays at various lodges. Packages include transportation, meals and expert\u00a0guides.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also possible to book rooms without a package. Rates at Canopy Lodge start at $267 a person per night in high season ($184 in low season) and include all meals (canopytower.com). If you stay for three nights or longer you\u2019ll receive a complimentary birding tour with one of the lodge\u2019s\u00a0naturalists.<\/p>\n

High season is January through March when the weather is mostly sunny and\u00a0dry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
