Ancon Hill, known locally as Cerro Ancon, is a 654-foot hill that lies within the Panama City's limits, offering a unique view of the city's skyline from its summit. It is a protected site due to its ecological significance and historical importance. The hill holds a significant place in Panama's history. During the American administration of the Panama Canal, the area was under U.S. jurisdiction and was considered unincorporated U.S. territory. Today, Ancon Hill is a symbol of Panamanian sovereignty, marked by a large Panamanian flag at its summit that can be seen from almost any point in the city. From the top of Ancon Hill, one can observe a panoramic view of Panama City. The view encompasses the dense urban development, including the city's modern skyscrapers, colonial-era buildings in the Casco Viejo district, the Bridge of the Americas, and the entrance to the Panama Canal. Simultaneously, the hill's lush greenery serves as a reminder of Panama's rich biodiversity and the city's proximity to tropical forests. The hill also serves as a natural reserve with a wide range of fauna and flora. It is home to various animal species, including sloths, armadillos, deer, and a variety of birds, making it a unique blend of city and nature. Despite its proximity to the city, Ancon Hill offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life. Visitors can hike up the paved road leading to the summit, where they can enjoy the panoramic views of Panama City. It's a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, providing an opportunity to appreciate the city's dynamic evolution from a unique perspective.
