What’s in Our Bags: The Travel Gear Editors Are Loving This Summer
"A bustling capital city known for its modern skyscrapers, colonial architecture, and the famous Panama Canal. It's a city that blends history and modernity."
We arrived late - about 1/2 hour before official closing, but were told that we could go on one of the shorter trails if we were back by 5. Lovely walk, hot! But nice observation area at top of trail, and we saw an agouti(?) some turtles, butterflies, spiders, a small scorpion, and lots of cool flora. Go.

A hike easy enough for the whole family. Various routes that take about 1 - 2hrs to navigate observantly. Steepest part is the final 10mins to get above the canopy where the reward is the view.
Can get hot and humid so bring water.

What a magnificent place right in the middle of Panama. This place is magical ✨️ I love how the rays of the sun gently kissed the plants. The air is clean, crisp, and fresh. Lots of Fauna and Flora. Colorful butterflies. The breathtaking views made this an amazing experience. It costs $2 for locals.

Beautiful park, perfect for some hike. Be aware that when they say moderate to describe the intensity of the trail it really means intense for kids or elders.

Easy hike with good views of the city.
You can spot a few sloths and lots of birds.
I’d recommend it if you wanna do something different during your stay in Panama City.

Beautiful park in the city. You don't have to travel far to experience the Panamanian Jungle. Great for hiking.

Oasis within city! Peaceful and great for forest bathing! Came across sloth, tucán and leaf cutter ants. Great way to get a bit of exercise, fresh air and rejuvenation.

Fun hike. The distance is just enough and I sped through in about 80 minutes. I highly suggest taking time, there were a lot of natural flora and animals I missed out on bc I was in such a rush.
