Really neat to enjoy being in real nature setting right in a city - Incredible especially Panama City - big, not pretty to me - but then in a jungle setting. We walked all three trails, took about 2 hours. Went to top. Suggest morning...More
It certainly doesn't feel like you are in a city. It has all the ugly, dank attributes of any tropical rain forest, but better trail and, I was told, a great view. We were pressed for time, so we didn't go to the top, but...More
We visited this place just recently (mid-April) when on a stop-over before catching our flight back home. After reading some reviews, I wasn’t sure whether this would be so great, so it was initially just on my “maybe” list. And what a lovely surprise this...More

We went around 8am. It got hot by 10AM. But we saw tree sloths, toucan, butterflies and many bird species. This is an easy ride from town and not to be missed. The view of the city from the top is spectacular.
This was a short and fun hike. It is great for kids, and very easy. A bit of a climb in a couple of places. Can be done in a couple of hours. We had planned on getting here early but ended up visiting around...More
