Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Cerro Punta is a city and corregimiento in Tierras Altas District, Chiriquí Province, Panama.[1][2] Cerro Punta is located in Panama's western highlands at an altitude of 6,500 feet (2,000 metres), just south of the Continental Divide. The climate, like the rest of Panama, is tropical with a short dry season and rainy season that extends about 9 – 10 months of the year. Night time temperatures are often cool due to Cerro Punta's relatively high elevation. During the 1970s much of the land was used for cultivating strawberries; households also maintained small mixed-vegetable gardens. The village can be reached by traveling north from the Pan-American highway.
