Some experiences change the way you see a city forever.
Just minutes from downtown Panama City, Ancon Hill rises like a hidden rainforest sanctuary above the skyline. Here, you’re not just hiking — you’re stepping into a protected natural reserve where two-toed and three-toed sloths, toucans, monkeys, and tropical birds thrive in the wild.
With our professional spotting scope, you won’t just hear about wildlife — you’ll observe it up close and capture unforgettable photos.
At the top (199 meters above sea level), you’ll visit three distinct scenic viewpoints, each revealing a different perspective: the modern skyline and Panama Bay, Casco Viejo and the Pacific entrance of the Canal, and the Panama Canal with the Bridge of the Americas.
We also offer strategically timed departures: early morning for optimal wildlife activity, and a later scenic-focused walk for guests who prefer a relaxed pace.
This is where rainforest meets skyline.
This is Panama beyond the postcards.

We made it to the top of Ancon Hill! Take a deep breath and enjoy one of the most stunning panoramic views in all of Panama. From this privileged spot, you'll see the modern skyline of Panama City, the historic district of Casco Viejo, the Bridge of the Americas, the entrance to the Panama Canal, and even ships waiting in the bay — all framed by the surrounding tropical forest. It’s the perfect moment to capture unforgettable photos and soak in the contrast between city and nature. After this scenic highlight, we begin our descent. But the experience isn’t over yet! Keep your eyes and ears open — we’ll be on the lookout for colorful toucans, sleepy sloths in the treetops, and with some luck, we may even spot Geoffrey’s tamarin monkeys playing in the branches as we make our way down.
