A tract of dry Pacific rainforest inside Panama City limits, making it one of the few capital cities with genuine tropical forest downtown. Short trails climb to a lookout over the skyline and canal entrance, passing sloths, tamarins, and turtles along the way. It is an easy half-day of wildlife watching without leaving the city.

The world is wide open.
