Panama's oldest national park protecting vital watersheds and rich tropical biodiversity

Altos de Campana National Park

Altos de Campana National Park represents Panama's oldest and most historically significant protected area, founded in 1966 through Executive Decree No. 153 as a pioneering effort in Central American conservation. The park's establishment was driven by strategic water resource concerns, specifically the need to preserve watersheds essential to the Panama Canal's operation. Situated within the Talamanca mountain range in the Mariato District of Panamá Oeste Province, the park encompasses approximately 48 square kilometers of mountainous terrain. Over time, the park's boundaries were expanded under Decree No. 35 in 1977, strengthening its ecological integrity. In 2019, Altos de Campana became integrated into the Geoparque Puente de las Américas initiative, which promotes sustainable development while highlighting the region's geological and cultural heritage. The park's accessibility from Panama City, combined with its ecological wealth, makes it a cornerstone of Panama's environmental education and ecotourism efforts, serving both domestic and international visitors seeking to experience Central American tropical forest ecosystems.
