Baru Volcano

Baru Volcano stands near the town of Boquete in Chiriqui Province, western Panama, reaching an elevation of about 3,474 meters, the highest point in the country. It is a stratovolcano built from andesitic lava flows and pyroclastic deposits, and although no eruption has been recorded in its history, geologists consider it potentially active rather than extinct. Its summit is renowned as the only point in Panama from which both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea can be seen simultaneously on a sufficiently clear day. The volcano's fertile slopes support the surrounding highland coffee-growing region around Boquete. This entity documents Baru Volcano specifically as a geological formation, the highest point in Panama and a potentially active stratovolcano overlooking both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts.
