Boquete, nestled at the foot of Volcan Baru at 3,478 ft (1,060m), is famous for its cool climate, green valleys, mountain vistas, coffee and delicious citrus fruits. On some nights you’ve got to wrap up warm as the temperatures can dip to 50 F, but mostly night time temperatures stay in the mid 60s. By day, visitors spend their time bird watching, horse-riding, white-water rafting, hiking and fishing.
The real estate buzz around Boquete started several years ago with Valle Escondido, a gated resort community with a 9 hole executive golf course, just outside town. Now Boquete is firmly on Panama’s real estate map and investors can choose from a range of offerings, all designed to make best use of the spring-like climate and pleasant natural setting.
Instead of driving the 7 hours from Panama Ciity, most visitors fly to the domestic airport at David and drive the 45 minutes to Boquete. The road from David is paved as are most secondary roads in the area.
