Gamboa town was originally erected as a place for Canal workers in 1911. It has undergone many changes since, becoming, at one time, a bustling “Canal Zone” township but losing much of its population and funding when the United States turned authority for the Canal over to Panama in 1999. Gamboa today is a sleepy community nestled among rolling hills of dense jungle.

Best of Panama’s Caribbean
Our Best of Panama’s Caribbean Coast Special Report is your beginners guide to finding the best opportunities on this side of the isthmus.
The Caribbean Coast of Panama is notoriously underdeveloped—a pro or a con depending on what kind of lifestyle you’re looking for. This side of the country’s infrastructure is basic at best, and, as a result, fewer foreigners have settled on Panama’s northern side.
