Transpanama trail

The route begins in the Darien National Park, on the border with Colombia. Further, the trail passes through the Reserva Hidrológica Filo del Tallo reserve and rises north to the sea through the Chagres reserve.

The Transpanama trail passes through Camino Real to the Caribbean Sea, repeating the historical route of the conquistadors who transported gold to Spanish ships.

The trail then runs along the coastal strip until it reaches Santa Fe National Park. After that, the route deepens into the central part of the country and reaches the highest point on the path - volcano Baru (volcan Baru) with a height of 3475 m, located in the province of Chiriqui. The end point of the Transpanama Trail is the border town of Hurutungo.
