dominates the misty Chiriquí high-
lands. At 3478m it's also the highest point in the country. Enthusiasts
can make the steep and usually muddy predawn climb for the reward of viewing
both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at the same time. Another, perhaps saner,
option is the Sendero Los Quetzales (

the park, crosses over the Rí o Caldera and provides the chance to see exotic
orchids, tapir and resplendent quetzals.
