Rural and Agrarian Tourism in Boquete
Discover Boquete, a picturesque and rural district in the province of Chiriqui. Its cool climate, which goes down to 53 °F (12 °C), makes it one of the best places for agritourism in Panamá. In fact, many of Boquete's hotels and houses in the area take advantage of their land to create farms, orchards and trails. This destination is ideal for experiencing rural life and exploring its natural beauties.
Although it's very easy to travel between these districts, we recommend renting a car or booking some transportation to move between tours and activities.
