Volcan Baru is a sleeping volcano that last erupted about 500 years ago. I love the view we get of this guy from where we live. Honestly, it never gets old seeing his silhouette in the distance.
My husband and two of my sons have climbed to the top of the volcano. My husband has been three times. My oldest son first climbed it on his 13th birthday. My second son climbed it when he turned 13 as well. I really have no desire to do the 7 hour hike to the top and 6 hour descent, but it sure is pretty.
The top of the volcano never gets snow, but before it blew, they said it used to have snow on top. Now it gets to right around freezing before the sun comes up. There is a cross at the top and some cell towers, but nothing else. On a clear day at the top, you can see both oceans - Caribbean and Pacific. The height of Volcan Baru is 3475 m or 11401 ft. On the Boquete side of Baru, you can arrive to the top in a 4x4 vehicle, but on our side, the only way up is to hike.
The above hills are not the volcano, but just north of our property. We have friends who have hiked up them as well, but they're much easier. I just really liked the view of them on this particularly cloudy morning while I was out walking the dogs around the loop in our neighborhood.
What do you think? Would you climb Baru?
