CANOPY

Panama is full of places where you can practice canopy or zip line, among theme parks that combine agriculture and adventure in one place. The canopy is characterized by its spectacular view and a 700-meter-long cable running from side to side.

It can be practiced at Boquete Tree Treek, in Chiriquí. This place has 14 platforms from which you can see waterfalls, the Barú volcano and exotic birds. It’s four hours at $ 65.00 per person. One of the extreme sports that only need your adventurous spirit.

SURF & KITESURF

Returning to the sea, but this time on its surface, the surf. Literally one of the most practiced sports in Panama due to our abundance of beaches.

Mentioning Venao as one of the beautiful and famous beaches where surfing is practiced a lot. However, close to the city is El Palmar beach, in San Carlos, Panama Oeste. In this place there is a wide variety of hotels and companies that offer surf lessons for all levels, as well as board rental. You will find this and more information at DoPanama.com.

Kitesurfing is another great sport that you can practice in Panama. It is an exciting sport that drives all surfers crazy and Punta Chame is the perfect place to practice it, where you can experience the pleasure of riding the winds over the beautiful Panamanian waters.

CAMPING

Not everything is extreme in Panama, since from time to time a good camping in the mountains is exactly the necessary cure to recharge batteries.

It is considered an obligatory activity in our country, since it can be done in spectacular places. One of them is the La Yeguada forest reserve, located in Santiago, Veraguas province. Right there you can swim and kayak in the lagoon surrounded by beautiful landscapes with pine forests.

We can also mention the Altos de Campana National Park. This has rivers, waterfalls, rock formations, caves and nature trails where you can admire numerous plants and animals.

Finally, we can mention the Laguna de San Carlos, in Panama Oeste, another of the most beautiful places to camp, where you can also swim, fish and climb the Picacho hill.

Remember, to access these areas you need to obtain a permit from the Ministry of the Environment office to be able to camp, something that really does not discourage you.

If you like extreme, come to Panama where you can enjoy all this and much more. We are waiting for you to live the extreme adventure!
