Cerro Vigía

At 307m, the island's highest point, this "peak" offers fabulous views across the island and out to the sea from its mirador. Also here are the remains of a complex of bunkers built by the Americans during WWII to protect the Panama Canal in the event of Japanese invasion. The four rooftop cannons are impressive.
