Isla Gatun is a private island located in the middle of the Panama Canal in the southwest of Gatun Lake, which was the largest man-made lake in the world at the time it was built. The island has an area of 2,994 m² (32,230 sq ft).^[1] The island is ringed with trees and foliage but the center is barren. There are no known indigenous humans residing on the island; however, small animals such as monkeys, parrots, toucans and tapirs do inhabit the island. The island is currently for sale for the price of $30,000; however, the island is not titled much like 95% of the Panamanian islands and is only available with a Right of Possession.^[2] Isla Gatun is 820 metres (2,690 ft) northwest of the small fishing village Arenosa. The village Arenosa also has a small marina, restaurants, and cell phone reception.
