With an area of 14,325 hectares, the Bar\u00fa Volcano National Park is located in the\u00a0Province of Chiriqu\u00ed<\/strong>, in the north of the country. The park is a scenic complex of high ecological and geological value that protects a\u00a0biological diversity<\/strong>\u00a0with unique species in this area. We find scenarios ranging from\u00a0tropical rainforest landscapes<\/strong>\u00a0with high-altitude species, to products of the last eruption of the Bar\u00fa Volcano millions of years ago. This combination of forests and volcano is nuanced with the agricultural activities typical of the highlands, with a pleasant climate of up to 140C, and typical foods that make it one of the most visited sites in Panam\u00e1.<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

To visit the Bar\u00fa Volcano National Park from Panam\u00e1 City, it takes an hour by air, or six hours by car to the\u00a0City of David<\/strong>, from where you travel 40 kilometers in approximately 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Park (at 3,475 meters above sea level, the highest point in the country), offers multiple ways to enjoy nature on trails such as\u00a0La Nevera, El Quetzal<\/strong>\u00a0(Cerro Punta-Boquete), where you can explore the exuberance of the humid forest tropical with giant tree species. The climb to Bar\u00fa Volcano is an opportunity to experience a scenario that evokes the origins of the American Continent, in a journey of four hours on foot, or 30 minutes in a 4\u00d74 car (all terrain) on a rough road. Once at the top, on a clear day you can see the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. You can also hike the trails that access the different craters of the Bar\u00fa Volcano, where you will have the opportunity to observe unique bird species. Rafting or canoeing is practiced in rivers such as Chiriqu\u00ed Viejo, which crosses the agricultural landscape of Boquete. Places like Paso del Respingo are perfect for bird watching, especially the Quetzal (phraromachrus mocino) and the toucan (Swainsonii ramphastos), or to find beautiful orchids, ferns and mosses. After a day of tours and coexistence with nature you can have an aromatic coffee in Boquete.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
