Why go

The ascent is part of the reward: as the road climbs, the city, port and forest reveal themselves in stages. At the summit, look in different directions for Casco Viejo, the modern skyline and Pacific canal approach. It is a purposeful walk, so allow time to climb and descend within the reserve's daytime opening window.

What to look for

  • A hilltop panorama and urban wildlife walk
  • The uphill road reveals views of the skyline and Pacific canal entrance, with chances to spot birds and sloths.

Useful to know

  • Check the current reserve access window before starting the climb, and leave enough time to descend before closing.
