Cerro Azul

Cerro Azul is a mountain retreat just 45 minutes from Panama City, in the hills east of the capital above Tocumen, with a cool climate, nature reserves, cloud forest, lakes and hiking trails that feel a world away from the coast. Gated communities of luxury mountain homes make it a favorite for weekend escapes and full-time living among nature. Properties are houses on large lots and land for building a custom retreat, attracting families, retirees, nature lovers and investors who want elevation and privacy close to the city. For investors, Cerro Azul real estate offers scarce buildable land in a protected setting, growing demand for second homes near the capital and a lifestyle that is hard to find so close to an international airport.
