An impressive canyon good for swimming and chilling with a beer. Get off at the Cuesta de Piedra junction between David and Volcan ($2.45) and head east. The canyon is 3 km from the highway underneath the third bridge along the way. Go up the river on its left side for about 300 m to access the canyon from its north. Note, to go down the canyon, you need something waterproof to protect you stuff, especially your camera, because the canyon can only be accessed via the waterfall. Best to leave most stuff in your accommodation.

Located about 50 km north of David. You can take a minibus from the terminal. You will need the bus to Cerro Punta, just say you want to get off at Volcán. Cost is about $3.
Read in the guideThe town is fairly large for a Panamanian country town, but you can still walk to most of the restaurants and cafés if you're a bit of a hiker anyway. There are taxis in town too.
