Boquete is a town in western Panama, in the Chiriquí Province, near the border with Costa Rica. Because of its altitude its climate is cooler than the lowlands in Panama, and has become a pleasant escape from the heat. Its natural environment has made it extremely popular with tourists from all over the world. Some of its landmarks include nearby Volcán Barú and the Sendero de los Quetzales, which runs from Boquete to the other side of the volcano. It is also known for its coffee, said to be the finest in Panamá (and among the world's best), and its oranges. The Caldera River runs through the town. Recently, Boquete has become the home of many North American retirees, that are attracted by its pleasant climate and affordable cost of living.
Sightseeing
Go on a kayaking, rafting or horse riding tour to see the surrounding countryside. Or stay in town and visit one of the local coffee-production plants. A must see in town is the Jardin Santa Maria, a private garden that the owners open to the public. It's full of weird and wonderful things like plastic flamingoes and underground ponds. Full of rare plants, it's a kaleidoscope of colour and well worth a visit.
Getting there
There are buses every 30 minutes between David and Boquete.
