Definitely check out the outdoor gym area! I was surprised to find free equipment and it was a fun way to break a sweat. Bring some water, it's easy to get dehydrated in the Panamanian sun.

Remember sunscreen! I thought I could skip it just for a walk, but I ended up sizzling by midday. A good sunblock can make a huge difference.

I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. The weekends can get super crowded, and that can make it tough to find a good spot to relax.

Wear comfortable shoes because the paths can be a bit uneven. I wore my fashion sneakers, and trust me, it was a mistake. You’ll want something sturdy for a better experience!

plan to visit in the early morning around 7 am. it's cooler and quieter, plus you might catch glimpses of wildlife before the heat drives them away. i loved having the trails mostly to myself.

I recommend visiting during the early morning around 8 AM. The wildlife is super active then, and it’s cooler before the heat sets in. Trust me, those early bird views are totally worth it!

If you want to save some cash, consider packing a picnic lunch instead of dining at the one restaurant in the park. I did this and enjoyed a peaceful break surrounded by nature

Check out the lesser-known trails. I stumbled across one that wasn't in the main guide, and it was incredible – way fewer people and stunning views. Don’t just stick to the main paths!

Make sure to wear sturdy shoes if you plan on hiking; the trails can get muddy and slippery. I found this out the hard way! Comfortable footwear made a huge difference for me.

Download a good offline map. Cell service was spotty in some areas, and getting lost isn’t fun! I saved time the second day by having everything planned out ahead

Bring snacks and water because options inside the park are limited and can be pricey. I saved money by packing my own food and really enjoyed picnicking in the scenic spots.

If you want to save some cash, grab lunch at one of the local stands instead of the touristy spots. The food is just as good and way cheaper! Plus, you get to support the locals.
