Watch a wild harpy eagle at an active nest in Darién National Park, Panama's last true wilderness and one of the world's strongholds for this giant, near-threatened raptor. Local guides and researchers track known nest sites reached by dugout canoe and muddy forest trails, though this is a wild species and no sighting is ever guaranteed, even at an active nest. The dry season from January to April gives the easiest access, with the least rain on the trails.
