Although Volcán Barú is primarily located in Panama, it's possible to start the climb from Costa Rica, making it a unique cross-border mountain climbing adventure. This dormant stratovolcano, with an elevation of 3,475 meters (11,401 feet), is the tallest mountain in Panama but stands out as a lesser-known climbing opportunity for those exploring Costa Rica. On a clear day, enjoy spectacular views of Costa Rica's lush landscapes and, from the highest point, even witness the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.
