Wonderful nature excursion with fantastic guide, Rafael - Amazing guide Rafael. He knows the history of his country as well as animals and plants. We arrived in time for sunrise and saw lots of animals: Agouti, sloths, toucans, parrots, a pretty red bird and a poison dart frog. I had a great time and Rafael took some awesome photos for me.

Wildlife galore in the middle of the city! - Fantastic tour! We saw so much wildlife and had incredible views of the city AND the Canal! Toucans, parrots, caracaras, and tons of other birds, agoutis, poison dart frogs, a sloth and the highlight - titi monkeys! Rafa was the perfect guide - extremely knowledgeable, friendly and did not rush us. HIGHLY recommend!

A history lesson and nature walk combined - Raphael was engaging and knowledgeable about the history of Ancon Hill. Even though I was the only participant, he did not cancel. We walked up hill at my pace. We listened for birds and other animals. On the way down at the last flight of stairs, I was rewarded with the sighting of a sloth. It was moving in n the trees. On of the best tours I’ve been on.

Fantastic views - Lovely views of the city & canal zone, plus lots of birds. Had the afternoon walk with Luis & 2 other travelers. Good communication with Conozca Primero before the tour & the team is super friendly. Luis told us about the area's history & the plants/animals. Saw a lovely toucan & many other birds. Book directly on *their* website for the best price.

Rafael is THE BEST - Rafael was an EXCELLENT guide! It was like catching up with a friend on a good, not intense hike. We had such interesting conversations that didn’t feel scripted. He brought me fresh fruit to eat at the top, spoke perfect english, and we saw some toucans, a sloth, and monkeys that came for his bananas he brought. Worth waking up at 6am for!!

Highly recommended! - Ancon Hill is very close to Panama City but it's a completely different world You can enjoy a moderate hike through the jungle, see wildlife and that pictures in beautiful places overlooking the city and the canal. Our guide was amazing and came prepared with binoculars and a telescope. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant.

Awesome Nature Escape in the middle of Panama City - A wonderful escape to nature in the middle of Panama City. In 15 years of visiting here we did not know this existed. Juan Carlos is a super guide and pointed out so many sightings of birds and animals we would otherwise not have noticed. The views of the city and the canal were also spectacular. A special place we will return to.
