ANAM charges a fee that is I around 3 dollars or so per person. (For Panamanian Nationals) If you want to go to the rain forest discovery center they have another fee depending on the time of visit see: http://www.pipelineroad.org/ You can visit the Park starting 6AM until about 4PM, best time is always early morning for birdwatching, also in the afternoons it rains more often, but since this is a rain forest it may rain at any time, so best come prepared with a light rain cover.

I hike in that area for some years now and there are good days and not so good days and that regardless of the time of day. So if you just want a nice day hike and don't have high expectations go for it and who knows you might see some unexpected beauties and maybe also some howler monkey and if not its always a good hike anyway. Here I have also some more images from the Soberania Nature Park: http://www.pty4u.com/panama/parque-soberania.html Regards Urs Hauenstein http://www.ptybirds.com/ Dear John Roecklein,

Our cruise ship lands Arador @ 09:00 and I'm not sure it is worth the trip up if we are unlikely to see many birds. Hi,

Question: Are we likely to see birds if we don’t get there until noon or thereabouts? Our cruise ship lands Arador @ 09:00 and I’m not sure it is worth the trip up if we are unlikely to see many birds.
