Insider tip — Termales Agua Hermosa rises near Volcan in the Chiriqui highlands of western Panama, in the shadow of Baru volcano — Panama's highest peak and only active volcano at 3474 m. The volcanic basement superheats groundwater to form sulfurous-bicarbonate springs that feed small rustic pools amid dense cloud forest. The area around Volcan is also famous for prime birdwatching; combine a morning at the springs with an afternoon birding the Baru slopes for a full highland experience.
