Chiriquí Province in Panama

Chiriqui River, La Amistad International Park, Baru Volcano, Cerro Punta, Macho de Monte Canyon, The Wells, Carved Stones from Sitio Barriles. BOQUETE is a small and beautiful town located in the Chiriqui province, Panama, in a valley surrounded by the impressive mountains of the Central Mountain Range. Chiriqui-Boquete This area has everything: volcanoes, rivers, cloud forests, mountains, great weather. The west side of the Baru is a bit wilder, cooler and more dramatic than the east side. Both sides have great beauty, but the east side has something its western neighbor lacks: a charming little town called Boquete. The town is tiny and laid-back. A very relaxing place to hang out and plan day trips to the many attractions nearby. David city (38 kilometers away from Boquete) with daily flights to/from Panama City and Bocas del Toro. Terrestrial, using the road from Boquete to the Interamerican Highway, in very good shape. The capital city The city of David is on the coastal plain. It is a market town and center for the thriving agriculture and cattle industry which is the mainstay of the province. It is not quite a frontier town, but the feeling is there. The famous island of Coiba is about 60 miles from the Chiriquí coastline. The former penal colony is now a wildlife refugee. For beaches, Las Olas Beach Resort at La Barqueta Beach to the west of the city welcomes visitor, and to the last, an hour down the Pan American Highway is the extensive Las Lajas beach. Bambito, Volcan and Cerro PuntaTo find the road up to Volcan, Bambito, Cerro Punta and Guadalupe, Chiriqui’s other mountain resort area, you head westward out of David on the Pan American Highway to the town of Concepción, still on the coastal plain, and turn right where a large billboard points the way to Hotel Bambito. Onward and upward, the air grows cool and the drive is sometimes through banks of cloud. You have reached sweater and three-blanket country. The road levels off on a high plateau where lies the town of Volcan on the western flank of the volcano close to the peak. It is a small town, but with amenities enough—several good little restaurants, the San Benito handicraft shop, two hotels and a number of groups of cabins. Finca Guardia offers rides on fine Arabian horses through the green highlands of Volcan. Their miniature horses will delight children. Call 616-2521. Even more magical mountain country lies a little further on. Bambito Hotel is a spectacular landmark amid manicured lawns, lakes and fountains in a cleft in the steep hills. Bambito hotel is a five star establishment offering elegance and luxury which contrast deliciously with its rugged surroundings. The town of Cerro Punta, another 10 minutes and maybe a thousand feet higher, is almost as far as you can penetrate into the cordillera without donning stout boots and hacking a trail with your machete. It is at the head of a broad and magnificently fertile valley; a land flowing not only with milk and honey but strawberries from the rich volcanic soil and cream from the fat black-and-white Holstein cattle grazing in lush pastures. |
