Overview
The Volcán Barú is an active stratovolcano and the tallest mountain in Panama, at 3,474 meters high. It lies about 35 km off the border of Costa Rica. It is also the twelfth highest peak in Central America.
Description
Climbing Volcán Barú is a goal of many visitors seeking views from the summit of both the Pacific and the Caribbean coasts. It might not be worth it in poor weather, as the going is strenuous and rough, and there is little to see in cloud cover. You can enter the national park on the eastern (Boquete) and western (Volcán) sides of the volcano.
