- - - - CERRO PANDO
        
        Located to the west of the Baru Volcano are the hills known as Silla de Pando and Cerro Pando. Both correspond to the domes known as "Domos del Pando". The dome of Cerro Pando has an approximate size of 1.5 x 2.0 km, with a height of 1756 m.a.s.l. Its location had a displacement towards the south, with a behavior similar to a very viscous lava flow. As a consequence of several eruptions, the dome is cut in its central-southern part by a fault in the E-W direction.
        
        VOLCÁN BARÚ
        
        The materials of the first cycle of Baru are very similar to the materials of the Colorado Volcano, which suggests the hypothesis that a displacement of the volcanic duct from the Colorado to the Baru was verified.
        The analysis of the historical, petrographic, petrological and chemical information of the materials emitted by the Baru, as well as of the stratigraphic sections, allows to determine the types of activity that characterized this volcano. (UTP- CEPREDENAC, 1992a).
- - - - Bell Ridge
        Altos de Campana National Park was created in 1977 and declared a biological reserve in 1986. It is located 50 km. southwest of Panama City, 10 km. from the district of Capira and has an area of more than 4,000 hcts. The vegetation is one of the most varied in the country. The average annual temperature is estimated between 21° and 22° C, although at night it can drop to 16° C.
  - - - Ethnicity
        
        Its population is a melting pot that includes 62% mestizos, 14% Africans, 10% Spaniards, 5% mulattos and 5% Indians. The 7 indigenous ethnic groups that live in Panama are scattered throughout the territory, in very localized regions:
        The Emberá live on the banks of the Chagres River, and the Wounaan inhabit the area of Darién, the impenetrable jungle that separates Panama from Colombia. Despite the distance, both ethnic groups share customs and clothing, loincloths or "paruma" for them, and colorful skirts and naked torso for them, as well as bracelets and necklaces made of silver coins.
        
        Religion
        
        As for the Panamanian Religion there are 85% Roman Catholics, 10% Evangelical Christians, 5% Others (Hebrews, Muslims, Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Hindus, Mormons)
        The National Constitution states that "the profession of all religions is free, as well as the exercise of all cults, with no other limitation than respect for Christian morality and public order". Other religions such as Hinduism are also accepted, but this is not widely practiced in Panama.
