La Yeguada (also known as Chitra-Calobre) is a massive volcanic complex located in Veraguas Province, Panama, north of the Azuero Peninsula.
[edit] Exploration
The region was explored by several Panamanian adventurers and filibusters, which discovered that the mountain range was indeed not home for a volcano, but more for a caldera. The region is also home to several sorts of birds, mainly, Guayacanes which are now one of the most abundant birds in the region of Azuero, the valley is also an agricultural grassland since the Laguna La Yeguada' works as a natural irrigation system which prevents the region's animals and plants from dehydration.[citation needed]
The woods in the valley is where most of the Panamanian Cedro wood is produced.
