Metropolitan Natural Park

Finally, in 1975, the president, (Jorge Illueca), took a tour if the area and, as a result, a proposal for a Metropolitan Natural Park (PNM3) was presented.

It is located in the district of Panama, corregimiento of Ancón, on Juan Pablo II Avenue.

In the park there are a variety of birds and vertebrate animals typical of the tropical rainforest, such as: the monkey marmoset, the ñeque, macaws, squirrels, etc.

It also has nature trails from where you can observe its forests, landscapes and a panoramic view of the capital city.[2]>.

Approximately 75% of the park is covered by tropical dry forest of the Pacific, an ecosystem that has almost disappeared in other regions of the country.
