Panama’s Ministry of Environment has announced that the La Cruz trail in the Altos de Campana National Park and Biological Reserve will reopen to visitors in January 2026. The trail restoration is a central component of a $2.5 million rehabilitation project for one of the nation’s most iconic protected areas, funded by the Inter-American Development Bank<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities conducted an inspection tour this week to evaluate progress on the infrastructure upgrades. The project, managed by the firm Panamericana BC, Inc., aims to enhance the visitor experience while strengthening the park’s conservation capacity. Similar interventions are planned for other national parks including Camino de Cruces, Soberan\u00eda, Portobelo, and San Lorenzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Los Pinos camping area has been completely rehabilitated, with public bathrooms in optimal condition to receive families,” said Environment Minister Juan Carlos Navarro. [Translated from Spanish] He confirmed the Campana lookout point was expanded and trails were restored to ensure visitor safety.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Work is proceeding while the park remains open to the public. All entrance fees are directly allocated to the maintenance and conservation of the protected area, officials noted.<\/p>\n
