Hiking to Panama’s Highest Peak

Introduction

Conquer Volcan Baru’s trek, camp atop Panama’s highest peak, and witness a breathtaking sunrise through the clouds.

Description

Gear up for the ultimate challenge as you conquer the 9.5 km trek to Volcan Baru, the legendary “Mountain of Fire” revered by ancient indigenous cultures. This epic adventure thrusts you into a world of unparalleled beauty and diversity, as you traverse five distinct ecosystems that showcase the raw power and magnificence of the volcano’s history.

The journey begins with a heart-pounding ascent, where each step takes you through the ever-changing landscapes of Baru Volcano National Park. Marvel at the vibrant biodiversity that thrives amidst the rainforest highlands and the ancient volcanic remnants shaped by millennia of eruptions. Your trek will culminate in a breathtaking 5-6 hour climb to the summit, where you’ll savor a hearty meal amid panoramic vistas.

At nearly 3,500 meters, the highest point in Panama, you’ll be rewarded with an awe-inspiring view of both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans on a clear day. As night falls, camp on the volcano’s peak and awaken to the breathtaking spectacle of sunrise through the clouds. After a complete breakfast, descend in a 4×4 vehicle to Boquete, concluding an adventure that few are fortunate enough to experience. For those who prefer a shorter journey, descend after sunset to arrive in Boquete by nightfall.

The proceeds from this experience will support the Yaguara Foundation, helping preserve the jaguar and other big felines in the surrounding areas of the Volcan Baru National Park.
