VAMOS SOUTH: Boquete, Panama

Boquete, Panama is a quiet coffee producing town in the northern part of the counrty. Most people only stay two or three days but we were enjoying the slow pace, great coffee and numerous hikes so we stayed for a week. We stayed at a great hostel that felt more like a homestay. The rooms were in the families house and they were very friendly and had great information about what to do and see around town.

This little guy was sitting next to us on the bus ride from Bocas Del Toro to David.(the town before Boquete) At first I heard something rustling around in side the bag, I thought it may have been an iguana, but a few minutes later he popped his head out and gave us a good laugh. Not too long after that the chicken peed on the guys leg so he threw it on the floor.

This is the main river flowing through town.

Most of the farmers in town have awesome old trucks similar to this one.

This hike is called Sendero Los Quetzales it went from Boquete to Cerro Punta it was around 18k. It is considered one of the most beautiful trails in Panama and it was definetely that.

The hike finished on a farm outside Cerro Punta.

The view from the backyard of the hostel. We could watch the daily showers come in.

Doing a bit of journaling in the backyard.

We found a sports bar in town and were lucky enough to watch the Broncos crush the Ravens the N.F.L season opener!

On our last Day in Boquete we went on a coffe tour from "seed to cup" on the Cafe Ruiz plantation. We had no idea about all the work and time it takes to produce coffee.
