About this activity

It forms a key section of the Colonial Transisthmian Route of Panamá (inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2025 as a cultural route). This historic route includes the Camino de Cruces and the Camino Real, which connected the Caribbean (Portobelo) and Pacific (Panama Viejo/Old Panama City) coasts during the Spanish colonial period starting in the 16th century.

we are going to hike only one section of this trail, half of the hike is easy money we basically hike on a road with hiking shoes to the ridge of the hill and the second stage is challenging we go down into real jungle by las cruces trail we provide rubber boots and hiking poles, no need big bagpacks only room enough for water mosquito repelent, etc. Ill be more than happy to answer all your questions bebore the tour, remember you need to be in very good physical condition to do this activity.
