One of the most popular plans in the destination is the walk from Sapzurro to La Miel. It is a marked trail in which you must climb nearly 200 steps to reach the top. Here you will find a military post where they will require your ID - a passport is not necessary - to enter La Miel, the first region of Panama bordering Colombia. At the top, you can see the Colombian coast on one side and the Panamanian coast on the other.

We recommend visiting Capurganá in the months of April to October if your vacation allows it. In January there are many visitors to the destination and you may not enjoy the tranquility of the places 100%.
