Where are Panama's national parks & reserves?
Panama’s national parks , nature reserves and reserves are scattered across the country. Some are very easy to get to, while others are more of a trek. For example, Soberanía National Park , one of the country’s best birding sites , is a quick 50-minute drive from Panama City , and Altos de Campana National Park is right off the Inter-American Highway in central Panama . However, parks in more remote areas like the Darién can be difficult to reach. Road conditions can be poor and access to the park can be limited.
