While we were in the town of Boquete the self titled "Metzger" group hiked to the top of Volcan Baru. It took 12 hours, 17 miles, and we reached a hight of over 12,000 feet. We can now say that we have been to the highest point in the country of Panama. From the summit we could see both the Pacific and Caribbean oceans. It was one of the most amazing experience I have ever done in my life. Our guide told us that if we could hike this volcano then we could hike any mountain or volcano in central or south America excluding the Andes. Now I cant wait for my next hiking adventure!
