Volcan Baru National Park Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Panama, Baru National Park, Baru Volcano
Panama, Baru National Park, Baru Volcano
The volcano Barú is the highest mountain in Panama (3477m). It is possible to take a cab to approx. 1700m and hike the rest (13km). It takes around 5 to 6 hours to go up. When the weather is good you can see the Pacific and the Carribean. Even if tour operaters tell something different: you don't need a guide! It's long and steep but not difficult. tip: start at midnight (with a good lamp) so you can watch the sunrise.
