Climb to the highest point in Panamá: the Volcan Baru. From the top, on a clear day, you'll be able to see the two oceans. During the trip, take the opportunity to camp halfway and spend the day exploring the mountain. Don't miss out on watching the sunrise through the clouds.

If you want to get to know the cloud forest from slightly less demanding trails, follow the El Pianista or La Piedra de Lino trails. The first will take you on a slow climb from the bottom of the village to the clouds, while the second will challenge you with a much faster climb, a challenge for the more adventurous.

Visit the highest viewpoints, go bird watching, and take the best photos of Boquete with its beautiful coffee farms and surroundings. Try to see monkeys, squirrels, and the many orchids hidden in the forest. These landscapes are unique in the country.
