The Metropolitan Natural Park is expanding its conservation, environmental education, and nature tourism offerings with the addition of the Tropical Forest Refuge, a new complex featuring a plant nursery, a hydroponic greenhouse, and the “Alas del Bosque” Butterfly House. The initiative strengthens one of the most important natural spaces located within Panama City.
What the Tropical Forest Refuge Includes
The project represents a combined investment of B/.92,702.19, allocated to facilities for the production of native species, ecological restoration, research, and educational activities. Its components include accessible trails and specialized areas for the management of plants and butterfly species.
A New Space for Nature Tourism and Environmental Education
The new space expands the park’s tourism and educational potential by offering experiences centered on biodiversity, conservation, and nature. Its opening also helps diversify the activities available within the capital for both residents and visitors.
Green Areas and Urban Growth in Panama City
The addition of new recreational and environmental spaces is particularly relevant in a city that continues to grow and develop. The presence of green areas, parks, and nature destinations integrated into the urban environment contributes to improving the quality of public spaces while strengthening the appeal of surrounding areas.
The Metropolitan Natural Park as a Key Destination
With this new infrastructure, the Metropolitan Natural Park continues to establish itself as a key destination for nature tourism within the capital. The combination of conservation, recreation, and sustainable urban development could further increase the importance of these spaces as Panama City continues to evolve.
