👍 It is hard to see skyline of the city at the top because the last section of the road is blocked. But the views on the way are super nice. People often mention Panama, view, city, walk, Panam, water, Cerro, views, road, para,

    (Translated by Google) Usually if you are looking to do physical activities outdoors, walk, jog or simply enjoy the tropical climate of Panama without going too far, the Ancón hill is one of those options. Due to the covid it is not very crowded yet, but it is quite close. Important and only as a precaution go in groups of two or more people. Although within the site and to enter there is SPI patrolling. Recommended place to go with the family (Original) Por lo regular sí se busca hacer actividades físicas al aire libre, caminar trotar o simplemente disfrutar de el clima tropical de Panamá sin ir muy lejos, el cerro Ancón es una de esas opciones. Debido al covid aún no es muy concurrido, pero está bastante cerca. Importante y solo por precaución ir en grupos de dos o más personas. Aunque dentro del sitio y para ingresar existe patrullaje del SPI. Sitio Recomendado para ir con la familia

    (Translated by Google) Terrific! Walk in the middle of the trees in the middle of the city. There are incredible views of the city, the old town and the Bridge of the Americas. Besides being able to see many animals, the ones I saw were: alcones, toucans, cotuza, lazy bear. It is a stop in Panama. It is very safe there are police and they are very friendly. Recommended comfortable clothes, water, and something to eat. You can get there by taxi or Uber is the most recommended. (Original) Buenísimo ! Caminar en medio de los árboles en medio de la ciudad . Hay unas vistas increíbles de la ciudad , del casco antiguo y del puente de las Americas . Además poder ver muchos animales , los que yo vi fueron : alcones, tucanes, cotuza, oso perezoso . Es una parada en Panamá . Es muy seguro hay policías y son muy amables . Recomendable ropa cómoda , agua , y algo de comer . Puedes llegar en taxi o Uber es lo más recomendable .

    The best part of going up Cerro Ancon... you get an awesome view (and photos) of the big ole 🇵🇦 we always see from down and far away. + The best view of the Panama bay with all of the tall buildings #ProTips: - Bring water, there is none to buy or drink up there - Bring a towel. Panama is hot and humid and you'll be sweating - If you want to avoid a crowd, use Google stats or start to go up at around 11:00am (most people avoid the noon sun but you are mostly going to be in shade by the trees all the way)

    About a 25-30min easy hike, in the shade, to top of Ancon hill. Heavy forested mountain in midst of city. Several places allow for view of city.

    The half hour walk up the steep hill is easier than expected. Nice forested surroundings with some great photo opportunities of the city skyline on the way up. From the back of the hill, you can see the Miraflores Lock of the Panama Canal, which was a bonus. If on the hop on hop off bus, you should be getting off here. Totally worth it

    Medium effort to go up. Kids will get tired. If you look carefully, you can see a lot of fauna right in the middle of the city. That is amazing for a big city like Panama.

    (Translated by Google) The place is very beautiful. There are stairs and an access road but it is quite steep. Go with fresh clothes, closed shoes and a hat. There are portable toilets but there is no drinking water. Bring water. (Original) Muy bonito el lugar. Hay escaleras y una calle de acceso pero esta bastante empinada. Ir con ropa fresca, calzados cerrados y gorra.. Hay sanitarios portátiles pero no hay agua potable. Llevar agua.

  • 5/5 Manouk H. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning views of the Panama City skyline! Approximately 2.5 KM walk from the street. You must park outside of the gated neighborhood and walk up the street. Very safe area. The best place to park is by the grass field, you’ll see other cars parked on the side of the road. There’s a long stairway that leads to the road. If you see it, you parked at the right spot. The hike isn’t very steep, so it’s easy for all to reach the top. Bring water and snacks, and of course an umbrella if you’re there during the rainy season.

    (Translated by Google) Flaming at the top of Cerro Ancón is the flag of Panama! After a pleasant walk you arrive at one of the most visited parts of Cerro Ancón, but keep in mind that there is still more to climb. Don't just get here, continue, I was going to get to this point and come back but I dared to do more. (Original) Flameando en lo más alto del Cerro Ancón está la bandera de Panamá! Después de una agradable caminata llegas a una de las partes más visitadas del Cerro Ancón, pero ten en cuenta que aún hay más por subir. No llegues solamente hasta aquí, continúa, yo iba a llegar hasta este punto y regresar pero me animé a más.

    The road is a bit difficult but the chasm has its reward, everything is free, except for the parking that has the cost of 1$ the best thing to do is to carry water to stay away
