We have seen the Rufous-tailed hummingbird at several locations in Panama. They dash through the blossoms so quickly that you get dizzy.

The Quetzal belongs to the genus of trogons, of which we were able to photograph yet another species, the mountain trogon, in Panama.

Trogons are colorful birds and yet difficult to spot in the canopy of trees. We had to roam the Panama jungle for a long time before we saw a mountain trogon.

There is a rich wildlife on the islands in and on the Panama Canal. In addition to howler monkeys, there are also the endemic Panama capuchin monkeys

Howler monkeys are a primate genus from the family of bracketed monkey. They live in Central and South America and are known for their loud shouting

On Barro Colorado Island, with a bit of luck, you can see brown-headed spider monkeys from the family of spider-horned monkeys (Atelidae).

Geoffroy spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi yucatanensis) live in Central America and thus have the northernmost range of all spider monkeys.
