Ancon, originally a crucial transit area during the construction of the Panama Canal, has evolved into a vibrant corregimiento home and continues to experience steady growth. Strategically situated around the majestic Cerro Ancon, the highest point in the capital, this district has witnessed Panamanian history unfold from the Spanish era to the United States' administration of the Canal.
What sets Ancon apart is its diversity. Urban areas like Albrook, Clayton, and Diablo coexist harmoniously with the lush nature that surrounds them. The Corregimiento of Ancon stands out as one of the few places in the city where a perfect balance is maintained between urban development and the preservation of natural beauty.
At the heart of Ancon lies the green oasis of the Metropolitan Park, renowned as the lungs of Panama City. This breathtaking natural space provides a refuge for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life, offering opportunities for hiking, bird-watching, and simply enjoying the serenity that nature provides.
Ancon's history intertwines with that of the Panama Canal, from the construction of military bases and recreational sites during the U.S. administration to its transition into an independent Panamanian corregimiento. Today, Ancon remains a living testament to that rich heritage, providing its residents with a unique place to call home.
