Hiking on the Pipeline Road From Panama City

3 h
About this activity
The Pipeline Road is located on the border of the Soberania National Park, just 40 min from Panama City. During WWII, a petroleum pipeline and its service road were built across the isthmus of Panama. The pipeline was never used, but the single-lane, gravel-and-dirt road persists and allows entry through the center of this incredible national park. This tour departs at 6:30 am with a naturalist guide. The first 2 km of the road is a wide, level, gravel road easily driven by car. The entire 17.5-km length of Pipeline Road is easily walked. The first 7-km section is mostly level, whereas the 10.5-km section farther in is more hilly. Be ready for a nice hike surrounded with the most beautiful mature tropical forest.
