Cerro Punta
A high-altitude farming valley at about 2,000 meters on the western side of Volcán Barú, with terraced vegetable plots and flower gardens covering the hillsides.
Cerro Punta sits on the northwestern flank of Volcán Barú and is one of Panama's highest villages. Volcanic soil supports vegetables, strawberries and flowers, and colorful terraced fields step up the slopes, often wrapped in morning mist. It marks the western start of the Sendero Los Quetzales and the gateway to La Amistad International Park, and roadside stands sell strawberries and dairy products. From Boquete it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours by car via David and Volcán, so it pairs well with a day trip to the Volcán lagoons.
