What makes this tour unique?

Some experiences change the way you see a city forever.

Just minutes from downtown Panama City, Ancon Hill rises like a hidden rainforest sanctuary above the skyline. Here, you’re not just hiking — you’re stepping into a living ecosystem where two-toed and three-toed sloths, toucans, monkeys, and tropical birds thrive in the wild.

With our professional spotting scope, you won’t just hear about wildlife — you’ll see it up close and capture unforgettable photos.

At the summit, the reward is breathtaking: panoramic views of the Panama Canal, Casco Viejo, the Pacific entrance, and ships moving silently through one of the world’s greatest engineering wonders.

This is where nature meets skyline.

This is Panama beyond the postcards.

Amazing historical and animal filled experience

The Ancon Hill Eco walk was amazing. It is a peaceful early morning walk that connects you to history and nature. I didn’t imagine being able to see so many animals (Sloths, Geoffroy’s tamarin monkey, toucan, parrots, iguana . . .) in the city. Rafael is extremely knowledgeable (history and animals), engaging, personable and charismatic. I would have missed out on the animals without him and would not have learned about the significance of Ancon Hill. To top it off, he had a telescope which he used to take photos of the animals giving me photos and videos that surpassed the ones I took. Lastly, the views are incredible. I highly recommend! Thanks Rafael!
Wildlife spotting!

This was a great tour for wildlife spotting! We ended up being the only ones signed up so we actually had a private tour with Jorge, who was very knowledgeable and brought a spotting scope for us to view the animals and birds up close. We were able to see Agouti, Toucans, Parrots, Two and Three toed Sloths to name a few! Had we hiked Ancon Hill on our own, we certainly would not have been able to locate these animals. Best time to go is early morning. It got quite busy towards the end of our tour.

Of course, you could go to Ancon Hill by yourself and then walk there, but why should I, if you can do that with a tour guide from Conozca Panama Toirs?’ My current guide Rafael has known the hill since he was a child. He knows which tree a sloth lives in and he recognizes birds and monkey voices. I would never have seen so many animals if he wasn't there and gave our small group the best possible information about flora, fauna and his land. Patient and courteous, as you would like. The camera lens he had with him was just the icing on the cake for people like me who don't have such a great phone.
Lovely

Our tour guide, Rafael, is very charismatic and kind. He created a one of a kind experience for us. He patiently guided us through a beautiful and lush world of Vegetation where we were able to see several types of Sloth’s, multiple Tucan’s, cute agoutis, a family of Monkeys as well as a huge variety of birds. It was rewarding to catch a sight of Panamas wonderful wildlife. He educated us throughout the beautiful walk with interesting facts and his huge knowledgeable. He gifted us a unique perspective of Wildlife. Highly recommend.
