Volcán Barú Summit

Highlight • Summit

Volcán Barú is an active stratovolcano and the tallest mountain in Panama, at 3,474 metres (11,398 ft) high. It lies about 35 kilometer (22 miles) off the border of Costa Rica. It is also the twelfth highest peak in Central America. A great hike but not such an impressive peak due to radio masts at the summit. It is however a zentralamerican country high point.
