Itinerary
Today you will experience the incredible unity of a metropolitan city adjacent to a lush rainforest. While hiking to the Metropolitan Nature Park view point, you will be fascinated by the beautiful views of Panama City. The area has remained largely undisturbed for the last 80 years and is a great place to experience dry, deciduous, lowland tropical forest. What makes Metropolitan Nature Park so unique is that it is adjacent to the Panama Canal watershed that consists of 552,761 hectares (1,365,902 acres) of national parks and protected lands. Within the 265 hectares (655 acres) that make up the park you can find over 265 species of birds.
From the top of the hill at the park’s highest point located at 150 meters above sea level, you can enjoy impressive views of bustling cosmopolitan Panama City, the Bay of Panama and the islands of Perico, Naos, Flamenco, Taboguilla and Taboga. You can also observe the Panama Canal entrance on the Pacific side, the Bridge of the Americas, and Ancon Hill.
