Our first Hide under construction. The shade cloth is temporary, until we get a better feel for the light and viewing angles of the Hide.
We are in the process of constructing a selection of Wildlife and Bird Observation Hides and Viewing Platforms in the Gamboa Rainforest Reserve.
The Hides are being designed to suit both photographers and 'Birders'.
The Hides and Viewing Platforms will be connected via a series of Bird Trails.
As each Hide is completed it will become available to hire.
