PANAMA CITY, Panama – die Wolkenkratzer der neuen Skyline von Panama City als Samenkorn von der Spitze des Ancon Hill. Ancon Hill ist nur 654 Meter hoch, bietet aber einen beeindruckenden Blick auf die neuen und alten Teile von Panama City. Mit Blick auf den Pazifik und den Eingang zum Panamakanal war das Gebiet historisch der Ort, an dem die Verwaltung des Panamakanals angesiedelt war und heute eine Mischung aus gehobenen Wohnhäusern und Regierungsabteilungen hat.

Ancon Hill, known locally as Cerro Ancon, is a 654-foot hill that lies within the Panama City's limits, offering a unique view of the city's skyline from its summit. It is a protected site due to its ecological significance and historical importance. The hill holds a significant place in Panama's history. During the American administration of the Panama Canal, the area was under U.S. jurisdiction and was considered unincorporated U.S. territory. Today, Ancon Hill is a symbol of Panamanian sovereignty, marked by a large Panamanian flag at its summit that can be seen from almost any point in the city. From the top of Ancon Hill, one can observe a panoramic view of Panama City. The view encompasses the dense urban development, including the city's modern skyscrapers, colonial-era buildings in the Casco Viejo district, the Bridge of the Americas, and the entrance to the Panama Canal. Simultaneously, the hill's lush greenery serves as a reminder of Panama's rich biodiversity and the city's proximity to tropical forests. The hill also serves as a natural reserve with a wide range of fauna and flora. It is home to various animal species, including sloths, armadillos, deer, and a variety of birds, making it a unique blend of city and nature. Despite its proximity to the city, Ancon Hill offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life. Visitors can hike up the paved road leading to the summit, where they can enjoy the panoramic views of Panama City. It's a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, providing an opportunity to appreciate the city's dynamic evolution from a unique perspective.
