Boquete

Highlands Rich In History And Beauty

Boquete is a charming town located in the highlands of west Panama, filled with rich history, local culture and natural beauty. Nestled in the mountains, surrounded by lush greenery and colourful flowers, with well-designed hiking trails, white-sand beaches and expansive national parks.

You can visit Panama’s once-sleeping Barú volcano and take the Los Quetzales trail, where you might spot the elusive quetzal bird native to the area. 

Since Boquete is in the mountainous region of Panama, the climate varies throughout the region. Expect a warmer and drier climate in the south and cooler temperatures in the north. These climate conditions create a perfect environment for cultivating Panama’s finest coffee plantations, sweet pineapples and juicy oranges. 

Most visitors stay in the small and walkable town of Boquete with easy access to cosy cafes, restaurants and bars. The majority of hotels offer spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and rainforest.  

Thrill seekers can explore the mountain landscape, where zip lining, canopy walks and rock climbing are all possible, you can also ride a 4x4 to the peak of Baru Volcano! More relaxing pursuits include bird watching and coffee plantation tours.
