9. Square Trees Nature Trail Arboles Cuadrados
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 98 reviews
Lovely 1.6km loop trail, traversing through a lush Panamanian rain forest. This trail is family friendly (including your pets) and is a wonderful place to see biodiversity up close and personal. The namesake of the trail, the Square Trees, are one of the many highlights to experience on this trail. Come for the square trees and stay for the birds, butterflies, insects and sloths. Since November 2019, this trail is managed by the El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center Foundation (EVACC Foundation), a non-profit dedicated to saving 8 of Panama's most endangered species of amphibians, including the famous Panamanian golden frog. Proceeds go towards EVACC Foundation's ex situ breeding facility. "In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught" Baba Dioum. Salva lo que amas!
