The diversified Chiriqui Province, situated on Panama's western coast and borders the Pacific Ocean, Costa Rica, and inland Panama, comprises mountains, rivers, and volcanoes. The tiny hamlet of Boquete is located in the lush Rio Caldera valley. At an elevation of 1060 metres, the town enjoys a pleasant, more relaxed temperature ideal for growing orchids, strawberries, root vegetables, and, most significantly, coffee. The Quetzal Trail, one of Central America's most spectacular hikes, is located in the shadow of the Baru Volcano National Park. Visitors visiting the area can hike a variety of paths, go white-water rafting, enjoy the best coffee on a plantation tour, scale volcanoes, and spot wildlife in the surrounding tranquil forest.

Travelling north from David for two hours will bring you to the Chiriqui Highlands, where Panama's tallest mountains, the lone volcano Baru, and some of the country's longest rivers can all be found. One of the biggest draws is the pleasant coolness, a welcome change from the hot and humid lowlands. Boquete is the main town and a great place to stay if you want to explore the surrounding area, known for its orange and coffee fields Birdwatching, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and tours of the family-run Café Ruiz coffee plantation are some fantastic things we can arrange for you. White-water rafting on the Chiriqui River is among the greatest in Central America.
