Our story

Not just a place,
it is a story

Villa 692 begins in the mountains, at 692 meters, inside Altos de Campana National Park, the first national park in Panama. The air is cool, nature wraps around everything, and time slows down.

It is the place to unplug and recharge just 45 minutes from the city: cabins facing the forest, a restaurant that cooks with the season, a sculpture park, a free-fall tower, and firepits that run late.

Experiences

From adrenaline
to the quiet of the forest

A 14 meter free-fall tower, a rope course between the trees, waterfall trails, rappelling and rafting. And on the coast, half an hour away: whale watching, surfing and mangroves.

And with nothing booked: the common areas

All of this is part of any stay, at no extra cost.
