About Altos de Campana National Park
It is a large park, covering an area of 1,950 hectares. The park became the first national park in Panama when it was established in 1966. The park consists of mostly mountainous terrain with elevations from 400 to 1,180 meters. The park has areas of volcanic rocks and sheer cliffs, products of the formation of Volcan El Valle de Antón, an extinct stratovolcano that consists of three peaks:Cerro Pajita,Cerro Gaital, andCerro Caracora. The park includes a number of natural springs and mountain streams including the headwaters of four significant rivers: the Rio Chame, Rio Perequete, and Rio Caimito (all of which flow towards the Pacific Ocean), and the Rio Trinidad (which is part of the Panama Canal watershed). Birdwatchers come to see some of the 267 avian species that have been identified
