Cerro Punta, Agricultural village in Chiriquí Province, Panama
Cerro Punta extends across rugged terrain at elevations between 1900 and 2300 meters, featuring scattered houses and agricultural lands throughout its landscape.
Three explorers, Abraham Candanedo, Abel Candanedo, and Andrés Gutiérrez, discovered this highland territory on November 11, 1921, during Panama's second republican period.
The population of 7,754 residents includes three primary demographic groups: 60 percent white and mestizo, 30 percent indigenous people, and 10 percent foreign inhabitants.
The region maintains temperatures between 11 and 18 degrees Celsius year-round, with frequent precipitation and occasional frost during the dry season.
Local farmers cultivate vegetables and fruits in volcanic soil at the highest elevation of any settlement in Chiriquí Province, producing crops distinct from other Panamanian regions.
