Ancon Hill

Ancon Hill is a steep 654-foot hill which overlooks Panama City, Panama adjacent to the township of Ancón. It was under U.S. jurisdiction as part of the Panama Canal Zone for much of the 20th century and therefore was never developed like most of the surrounding urbanized parts of the city. As a result, it became a kind of an "island" of jungle in an urban area, where wildlife still survives cut off from other jungle areas.
