New Portobelo Jungle Trail<\/h3>\n

In 1904, during the construction of the Panama Canal, a temporary settlement known as New Portobelo was built where El Otro Lado now resides. The settlement was evacuated in 1914, and during these 80 years, nature retook its territory, leaving no trace of this settlement with the exception of our private historical Dam. Take a walk deep in the jungle surrounding this magnificent lake.<\/p>\n
