Boquete is a colorful, wooded valley surrounded by the mountains of Chiriquí, in northwestern Panamá. In Spanish, the word Boquete means 'gap or opening'. The highlands area was an isolated refuge for the indigenous tribes like the Ngöbe and the Misquito due to the topographic terrain.

​

In the center of the district lies Bajo Boquete, its capital. The town, which is very charming, friendly, and comfortable to walk around is surrounded by mountains and crossed by the Caldera River.

​

Further north lies Los Naranjo’s, an area popular for its many coffee farms and great biodiversity. Experience it by visiting its protected areas such as La Amistad International Park (PILA) and Barú Volcano National Park, home to more than 300 species of birds.

​

To the right of the village is Jaramillo, another special area where you can have memorable experiences. Here you can support local production and cuisine by eating delicious food made with seasonal products 'from farm to table.'

​

In Boquete you can enjoy all this and more, at a temperature of 53 ºF to 86 ºF (12 ºC to 30 ºC), one of the coolest places in Panamá, but warm enough for outdoor fun.
