Baru Volcano Panama Hike – Full-Day Adventure from Boquete

Hike Baru Volcano Panama and Reward Yourself with Spectacular Views

Take the challenge of hiking Baru Volcano Panama, the country’s highest peak! (3,475 meters/11,400 feet)! In about 4-7 hours, depending on your physical condition, you’ll make your way to the summit of the dormant volcano, traversing rolling green hills, lush jungle, and rocky cliffs. From Baru Volcano’s summit, you will get a stunning panorama of both of Panama’s coastlines, the Pacific and the Caribbean – fingers crossed that the weather is great!
