Las Cumbres is a corregimiento in Panamá District, Panamá Province, Panama with a population of 32,867 as of 2010. [1] Its population as of 1990 was 56,547; its population as of 2000 was 92,519. [1] Neighborhoods in this sector include Villa Campestre, El Lago, Las Cumbrecitas, Las Glorietas, San Andrés, Altavista, El Rocio, Las Lajas, Gonzalillo, Villa Grecia and Colonial Las Cumbres. Las Cumbres is a rural community North of Panama City, developed by businessman Louis Martinz in the 1950s. It is at 1050 ft average altitude, giving the neighborhood a more temperate, cooler environment. Two lakes were constructed for recreation and selective water supply. The neighborhood evolved with middle-class families, to include many prominent members of Panamanian society such as scientists, doctors, engineers, businesspersons, and politicians. The community has been encroached by poverty-stricken neighborhoods, losing some of the charm. The Las Cumbres community still maintains much of its original charm and attractions.
