Cerro Cedro is arguably the best viewpoint of Panama City. At just over 500ft above sea-level, you will have great views of Panama City, the business hub of Central America. The part I love about this viewpoint is that you are seemingly in the Jungle staring out at the metropolis through the branches. Howler monkeys …
Panama City is a bustling urban jungle with some crazy traffic. However, just a 2-hr drive from the city in Bayano is one of the gems of Panama. We crossed the Bayano Lake and explored the Bayano caves, canyons, and the river. Along the way, we saw crocodiles, bats, howler monkeys and some of the …
What better way to say farewell to Panama after 100 days than an ‘Adventure Bag Adventure Day’ in Panama City. Photos by @jerryfit On Saturday, the 6th of October we managed to roll out of bed with just a few hours sleep. At the steps of the Administration Building, we waited for the Adventure Bag …
This week I ran a marathon. That came out of nowhere, well not quite. When I arrived in Colombia with Josh, I began to run consistently. The original aim was 30km a week. I had never run more than 10km and thought of a 6km run as a ‘long one’. Josh was already a seasoned …
For the last three months, I’ve had an amazing time exploring the mountains, waterfalls, and beaches of Panama. I’ve been incredibly lucky to meet so many awesome locals along the way who have shown me how they adventure in Panama. The people of Panama have made my trip amazing. Two months ago in Santa Fe, …
Aguila Waterfalls is one of those locations that takes you into another world. I found myself wading through knee-deep in crystal clear blue water while staring up at huge walls of ferns and vines as sunlight crept in through the canopy, lighting up the canyon. This is an Indiana Jones type of adventure. * …
This week in Panama was like all others. Hikes, workouts, running in the mountains and waterfalls. However, this was one standout moment in the last seven days. The ‘Adventure Bag Adventure Day’ was incredible. I invited people from all over Panama to join us in El Valle de Anton for two hikes with clean-ups during …
Cerro Trinidad is a steep hike through the jungle to an epic viewpoint out over Capiro. It isn’t very popular and subsequently, the trail is quite rough and very steep in some parts. A guide is highly suggested and hikers not in good physical condition may decide to give this hike a miss due to …
At 430 am, most of the people in the quiet town of El Valle de Anton were fast asleep. However, in the darkness of the morning, a group of seventy marched through the streets on a mission. From all corners of Panama, adventurers and nature lovers had come together to hike and clean the trails …
When I decided to travel to Panama it quickly became clear to me that this was a country with vast and variable landscapes. From the mountains of Santa Fe to the crystal clear waters of the islands in San Blas. I knew I would have a challenge ahead of me in choosing which locations I …
I’ve been in Panama for almost three months now (the visa allows six months for free) and there is one place that has been on my bucket list since the beginning. I was told early on that I had to visit Isla Escudo de Veraguas a small island in the Caribbean. I generally take local …
Locals will tell you it is the last frontier or the final hidden paradise in Panama. Escudo de Veraguas means ‘The Shield of Veraguas’ and it is one of the most amazing locations in Central America. It is home to the elusive three-toed pygmy sloth, which at times swims in the crystal clear waters of …
