In western Panama there is a province bordering Costa Rica blessed with Panama’s highest mountains, longest rivers, most picturesque mountain towns, untouched Pacific island beaches, nascent seaside resorts, and large, protected rainforests. The Chiriqui countryside is dotted with coffee and vegetable farms as well as cattle and livestock ranches making this province the breadbasket of Panama. David, Panama’s third largest city right on the Pan American highway is a focal point of Chiriqui providing the usual conveniences found in an up and coming medium size city. The expansion of Chiriqui’s international airport in David heralds the anticipated influx of new visitors and residents to the province.
Chiriqui is a little known gem of the world. Boquete, the breathtaking mountain town acclaimed by the world media and boasting a prize position as one of the world’s most attractive retirement destinations is located here. Thus far, Boquete has attracted the bulk of the spotlight and it is indeed a magnificent place, a favorite of most visitors. Yet Chiriqui is more than Boquete.
Chiriqui’s appeal includes a massive 36,000 acre marine park along with extraordinary beaches on both the mainland and islands. Some of the world’s best sport-fishing is found just off the Chiriqui coast. Beach area destinations are emerging here with places like Boca Chica, La Barqueta, Puerto Armuelles and Las Lajas leading the way. Hotels and resorts are popping up providing comfort and delights amidst the waves, tropical fish and warm waters.
Mountain towns with their own unique appeal such as Volcan and Cerro Punta provide quieter alternatives to the relative bustle and rapid growth of Boquete. Eco tourism is thriving here with the Boquete and Volcan areas bordering the 1,000,000 plus acre La Amistad International Park, in a partnership with neighboring Costa Rica, reportedly the world’s first bi-national biosphere reserve in the world. The park is an eco-wonder, home to an amazing array of bird and animal species.
