CERRO AZUL
Cerro Azul is located in the mountains along Panama’s Chagres National Park, and just 35 minutes from Panama’s Tocumen International Airport and less than one hour from Panama City.
Cerro Jefe at 1,000 meters above sea level is the highest point in the Cerro Azul Mountains. From this vantage point, one can enjoy spectacular views of the Panama Canal and if you are lucky, you will be able to see both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at the same time. Located in the mountains of the District of Panama, inside the Chagres National Park, Cerro Azul is extremely popular with vacationers during holidays.
The Cerro Azul-Cerro Jefe uplift is on the continental divide and the source of rivers flowing to both oceans on the Pacific slope, including the Pacora, Tocumen and Juan Díaz rivers; on the Caribbean slope, including several rivers of the Chagres watershed which supplies major reservoirs. Gatún Lake (423 km²) was formed by damming the Chagres River in 1910 during construction of the Panama Canal and is an integral part of the watercourse for the transit of ships; Alajuela (Madden) Lake (57 km²) was formed in 1936.
