Covering 218 acres on the outskirts of Panama City, the Parque Municipal Summit is a botanical garden and zoo/wildlife rehabilitation center you have to see during your visit to Panama City. The large park is great for walking and is filled with plants from all over the world, which were introduced here to see how they would cope with Panama’s tropical climate. There is a children’s playground and several animal exhibits including the harpy eagle, the national bird of Panama, which is probably the zoo’s most popular inhabitant. There are also several rescued wild animals who are cared for at the zoo including a pair of orphaned mountain lions.
