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.
