Volcan Baru National Park Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Panama, Baru National Park, Baru Volcano
Panama, Baru National Park, Baru Volcano
The volcano Barú is the highest mountain in Panama (3477m). 
It is possible to take a cab to approx. 1700m and hike the rest (13km). It takes around 5 to 6 hours to go up. When the weather is good you can see the Pacific and the Carribean.
Even if tour operaters tell something different: you don't need a guide! It's long and steep but not difficult.
tip: start at midnight (with a good lamp) so you can watch the sunrise.

Road coming to the property is terrible. If you have a car it may not make it. Definitely need a suv or truck. Most taxis will not come to this location. Room was nice and clean. Great mountains view. Queen bed was only a double. When asked about it they never answered me.

Excellent stay. It’s not clear from the Expedia listing but El Cielo is a small gated development of approx 14 units. The grounds are secure, well lit and beautifully landscaped. It’s around an 8 minute walk from the center of Bosquete. That’s close enough to easily walk into town but far enough ...
