Panama

Panama's topography is characterized by a striking diversity of landscapes that range from rugged mountains to expansive lowland plains. The interior of the country features the Central Cordillera, which includes some of the highest peaks such as Volcán Barú, reaching an elevation of about 11,400 feet (3,475 meters). This mountainous terrain is often steep and dissected, creating a series of valleys and highland plateaus that contribute to the region's rich biodiversity, including unique cloud forests and endemic species​. In contrast, the coastal areas are primarily comprised of flat plains and rolling hills, particularly along the Pacific coast, which hosts significant urban centers like Panama City. These lowland regions support lush tropical rainforests and mangrove ecosystems, contributing to Panama's ecological diversity​. Overall, the interplay between these varied elevations and the unique microclimates they create shapes both the natural environment and the human activities within the country, highlighting Panama's role as a vital ecological and cultural crossroads in Central America.
