Set in the tranquil Caldera Valley 37km north of David at just over 1000m above sea level, BOQUETE is the biggest town in the Chiriquí Highlands, the centre of coffee production and a popular weekend resort for the residents of David. The slopes surrounding the town are dotted with coffee plantations, flower gardens and orange groves, rising to rugged peaks that are usually obscured by thick cloud that descends on the town in a constant fine mist known as bajareque . Only when the cloud clears can you see the imperious peak of Volcán Barú, which dominates the town to the northwest. more »
