Boquete Outdoor Adventures
Hike Volcan Baru, Panama's Highest Peak
Take the challenge and hike up Panama's highest peak (3,475 meters/11,400 feet)! In about 4-7 hours, depending on one's physical condition, you'll make your way to the dormant volcano's summit, as you traverse through rolling green hills, to lush jungle, and finally to rocky cliffs. From Volcan Baru's summit, you will get the breath taking panoramic of both of Panama's coastlines, the Pacific and the Carribean.
If you choose to hike the volcano during the dry season starting at about midnight, you will reach the summit in time for the amazing pink sunrise breaking through the clouds. During the rainy season, starting at about 6 am, you should reach the summit between 10 am and 12 pm, with time to enjoy the expansive view of mountains, jungles, and oceans.
