Cerro Gaital, Mountain summit in El Valle, Panama.
The Cerro Gaital trail passes through dense tropical forests, reaching an elevation of 1,185 meters with several steep sections requiring rope assistance.
The mountain has served as a natural boundary marker between different regions of Panama's Cocle Province since the early Spanish colonial period.
Local communities organize annual nature photography contests at Cerro Gaital, capturing the mountain's natural elements through different seasonal changes.
The trail entrance begins near the main road through El Valle de Anton, with regular bus services from the town center costing 1 dollar.
The summit features multiple hanging bridges connecting different viewpoints, allowing visitors to observe both the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea on clear days.
