Boquete, high in the Chiriquí mountains, is Panama’s capital of coffee, hiking and cool fresh air. If you want to know what to do in Boquete, start here.
Coffee tours
Boquete grows some of the world’s most awarded coffee, including the famous Geisha variety. A farm tour — from cherry to cup, with a tasting — is the essential Boquete experience.
Hiking and Barú
Trails like the Pipeline and Lost Waterfalls are gentle and beautiful; the tougher climb up Volcán Barú, the highest point in Panama, rewards you with a sunrise where — on a clear day — you can see both oceans.
Adventure and relaxation
Boquete also offers zip-lining and hanging bridges through the cloud forest, white-water rafting on the Chiriquí Viejo river, and hot springs to soak in afterwards. It is Panama’s best all-round adventure base.
