Top Trekking Hiking in Panama Province

i recommend visiting the pipeline road—it has the best birdwatching if you're into that. but, plan a half-day for it since there’s so much to see. it’s a photographer's paradise!

I suggest bringing cash for entrance fees and local snacks, as not all places accept cards... I ran out of money on my visit and it was a hassle to find an ATM

you might wanna wear good hiking boots instead of sneakers. trust me, the terrain can be slippery and rocky. learned that the hard way!

I think it's best to start your trek by 7 AM to avoid the heat and catch the wildlife active in the morning. I started later and missed a lot!

My advice is to download an offline map of the park. Cell service can be spotty, and you don’t want to get lost while enjoying the beautiful trails!

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 bringing plenty of water and snacks. The trails can be longer than you expect and there's not a lot of places to grab food. Trust me I ran out of snacks halfway through and it was not fun!
