About

Chagres National Park is a nature park and protected area created in 1986 located in the Panamá and Colón provinces, in the Eastern sector of the Panama Canal with a total surface area of 129,000 ha (320,000 acres).

The park extends across the Chagres Highlands, a group of low mountains drained by the headwaters of the Chagres River. The southern portion of the highlands is known as the Serranía Piedras-Pacora, and forms a portion of the Continental Divide of the Americas.

The park adjoins Portobelo National Park on the northwest, and Narganá Wilderness Area on the east.
