You step off the shuttle into hot, green air: leaves drip, a distant chorus of howler monkeys marks your arrival, and the metal hum of cables winds through the canopy above. Guides fit your harness and explain the run order; the first platform sits a few meters up, the last one stretches nearly 32 meters over the forest floor. When you push off, the Chagres River and a slice of the Panama Canal come into view — the forest seems to breathe beneath you, wind daring you forward.
