Top Nature in Panama

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!

My advice is to pack a snorkel if you can. The underwater life is amazing and you don't want to miss it. It’s a fun way to explore without spending extra money on gear rentals.

I suggest wearing water shoes because some parts of the beach can be rocky and it makes beach walking way more comfortable.
