    Hiking

    Volcán Barú is an active stratovolcano and the tallest mountain in Panama, at 3,474 metres (11,398 ft) high. It lies about 35 kilometer (22 miles) off the border of Costa Rica. It is also the twelfth highest peak in Central America. A great hike but not such an impressive peak due to radio masts at the summit. It is however a zentralamerican country high point.

    Hiking

    The ascent from Nueve Bambito is only possible with a guide, which must be arranged in advance. Unfortunately, the staff at the entrance to the park will not let you through if you do not have a reservation.
