Gamboa, on the banks of the Panama Canal a short drive from Panama City, is one of the most convenient places to see wild sloths, in the trees along Pipeline Road and around the rainforest resort. Both two-toed and three-toed sloths live here, often spotted from boat trips on Gatun Lake as well. They are resident year-round, easiest to see on clear dry-season days from December to April.
